Caitlin Clark’s impact on basketball is evident not just on the court but in the demand for her merchandise as well.
Yesterday, after being selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft, her jerseys sold out almost instantly. This left even NFL legend and Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders seeking help to get one.
“Hey @WNBA – How do I get one of those?” Sanders tweeted, showing his interest in Clark’s gear.

Sanders, often celebrated as one of the greatest running backs ever, and Clark, now regarded by some as the greatest women’s college basketball player of all time, exemplify mutual admiration among top athletes.
Fans on social media reveled in this interaction:
“You should try to make a goat trade directly!!” suggested one user.
“Greatness recognizing greatness,” commented another.
“Detroit’s G.O.A.T has entered the chat,” a third chimed in.
As Clark starts her WNBA journey with the Indiana Fever, her popularity has grown to the point that the team has had to relocate games to larger venues to accommodate the surge in fan attendance.
High expectations follow her into the professional arena, underscoring her promising start and the widespread anticipation of her potential continued success.
