In the modern world, sports aren't just about what happens on the court, field, or track. Much of the buzz around athletes actually takes place before their events—that is when they arrive at their respective venues and showcase their latest fashion creations. In basketball, that's referred to as a tunnel 'fit; in Formula One, a paddock 'fit; and so on. What athletes wear when they're not in uniform matters, especially to fans who might never get to speak to their heroes. Clothes are the perfect form of communication—a window into who your favorite athlete is and what they stand for. That's what Go Sports is all about. Yes, we care about box scores, the results of Free Practice 1 (even if it is at 3:00 a.m.), and RHOBH-level rivalries, but today, sports fashion matters too. We're not ashamed to say so.
Given the unprecedented growth of women's basketball in the last year, from the college level to the pros, it felt fitting to kick off Go Sports with a curation of stories dedicated to a sporting arena that's long gone underappreciated and overlooked despite the immense amount of talent (both on the court and in the tunnel) that's always existed within it. Ahead, you'll find interviews with WNBA and Unrivaled stars such as Skylar Diggins-Smith and Lexie Hull as well as deep dives into the professional-level tunnel 'fits coming out of Notre Dame. For anyone new to the W, there's also an explainer designed to fast-track your knowledge ahead of the 2025 season's first matchup on May 16 and a curation of all the latest fashion news happening across the sports landscape. Lock in—it's almost time for tip-off.
