Las Vegas Aces Are Making A Big Change
The two-time WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces have truly redefined Sin City to Win City. The pride of the valley has given us a reason to celebrate once again. Becoming the first WNBA team to win back-to-back titles in 21 years. According to fanarch.com, “The franchise was founded in 1997 as the Utah Starzz, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, before relocating to San Antonio, Texas, in 2003.” After a series of name changes, the team finally settled as the Las Vegas Aces in 2018.
Las Vegas Aces Changing Again
The Las Vegas Aces are certainly not privy to change. They have recently revealed their fresh new uniforms ahead of the highly anticipated 2024 WNBA season. With their status as the reigning back-to-back WNBA champions, the team boldly chose to depart from their traditional red and gold color scheme to silver, black, and white. This new look resembles the iconic colors of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.
How The Team And Fans Feel About The New Change
The Las Vegas Aces have made the city proud to support them, but not everyone is celebrating this new change. The Champs will resemble the struggling Raiders. And even though the Raiders have three Superbowl rings, they haven’t proved much since their move to the desert.
Some fans feel that if anyone were to change their colors and present a new start it should’ve been the Raiders.
Mark Davis owns both the Raiders and the Aces and with this change, Aces players and fans are speaking out on social media.

According to USATODAY, “the Aces’ new uniform reveal had WNBA fans cracking the same jokes about Mark Davis and the Raiders.”
The conversation at the local barbershop I go to is that the Las Vegas Aces’ new uniform colors are dull and that the team’s owner, Mark Davis, wants the Aces to be the Raiders. The uniforms make the team look lifeless, and the old color scheme makes more sense. The Las Vegas Aces are still the two-time WNBA champions, and you may change their uniform colors, but it won’t change the dynasty!
