Bay Area's new WNBA team to be called Golden State Valkyries
Briefly

What's so incredibly powerful about it is first and foremost is what a valkyrie is. A valkyrie doesn't act alone, it's a group moving things forward. As we think through what we're building here at Golden State, it's on the court and off the court. To make the impossible, possible like the Bay Area does.
Fans had been pushing for the Valkyries names for the last few months, and Smith said she had been aware of the campaign. It's been pretty constant and that's really beautiful, Smith said of the fan support.
The color scheme for the team will be Valkyrie purple. There are lots of different purples and mythologies that come with it, Smith said. That key violet color is something that's uniquely ours. We think it's powerful enough to represent the Valkyries ... It's regal and powerful and something we're really excited to identify with.
The sword that's right down the center. On the flip side of that you got the bridge connecting the bay. That's very important for us that we're unifying in a big way. We are going to have a home in Oakland and San Francisco, Smith said.
