New Era Launches Golden State Valkyries 2026 WNBA Championship Collection

New Era is celebrating the Golden State Valkyries’ first WNBA championship with a new collection built around the cap worn by the team during its title celebration. The 2026 WNBA Championship Collection is led by the Golden State Valkyries 2026 WNBA Champions Locker Room 9FIFTY Pre-Curved cap, the same style New Era says players wore while lifting the WNBA Championship Trophy. The collection also includes an official 2026 WNBA Champions T-shirt, giving fans and sports memorabilia collectors championship merchandise directly tied to the team’s title celebration.

The Locker Room 9FIFTY Pre-Curved is an adjustable snapback featuring a white crown paired with a black visor. The Valkyries logo appears on the front alongside “2026 WNBA Champions” embroidery and a stitched WNBA Championship Trophy. New Era’s Flag logo is positioned on the side, while the back carries the WNBA’s “THIRTY” wordmark commemorating the league’s 30th season above the snap closure.

The championship collection arrives after a rapid rise for the Valkyries. Golden State joined the WNBA last year as the league’s first expansion team since 2008 and set a league record for the most victories by an expansion team during its inaugural season while also reaching the playoffs. The franchise followed that debut by capturing its first WNBA championship.

“From expansion to champions, the Golden State Valkyries were determined to prove themselves, and that drive led to their first championship,” Tim Shanahan, Senior Director of Licensed Products at New Era, said in the announcement. “With exceptional talent on the court and unwavering support from an electric fan base, this collection honors their championship run and cements their place in WNBA history.”

Rather than simply using a postseason-inspired design, New Era says the players wore the 9FIFTY Pre-Curved while celebrating with the trophy, giving fans a chance to purchase the same championship cap style seen during the team’s title moment. The collection also incorporates two milestones into a single design. Along with celebrating the Valkyries’ first championship, the cap marks the WNBA’s 30th season through the “THIRTY” branding on the back, adding another commemorative element to the release.

New Era’s 2026 WNBA Championship cap and T-shirt are available now through New Era and select retailers.
