The Golden State Valkyries, a new WNBA team, are set to play their inaugural season with the first exhibition game against the Los Angeles Sparks. With no established identity like other teams, they aim to create their own culture through the experiences of their players, including those like Kate Martin, who appreciate the historical significance of being part of a new franchise. The Valkyries are being closely observed as they attempt to build their identity while navigating the challenges faced by expansion teams, drawing inspiration from previous expansion teams like the Atlanta Dream.
We know when we put on our practice uniform or when we put on our real uniform on game day, we don't take that lightly. We know we're a part of history.
Unlike the 12 other WNBA teams, the Valkyries don't have an established identity to lean on. Golden State is relying on this year's team to create that culture.
