On April 8, 2021, a photograph started circulating on social media that supposedly showed a new jersey for the WNBA team Indiana Fever that had been inspired by the sci-fi show Stranger Things. This is an official WNBA jersey for the Indiana Fever and the design truly pays homage to the hit sci-fi show Stranger Things. The WNBA unveiled new jerseys for all 12 teams in the league ahead of their 25th season. ESPN reported these new jerseys have city-specific flourishes to make them unique for each team: The Fever wrote on their website that two of their jerseys (the heroine and explorer editions) took inspiration from the Lady Victory statue atop the Soldiers & Sailors monument in Indianapolis, while the Rebel Edition jersey was inspired by Stranger Things, a sci-fi show that takes place in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. The Fever wrote: A rebel is unapologetic and irreverent. Someone who rises in opposition and isn't afraid to take on a challenge. Inspired by Netflix's Stranger Things (a series set in Hawkins, Indiana) the rebel takes the upside down and pits it onto a jersey. The darker tone and jersey details embody the power of a mage ready for combat. In a video unveiling the jersey, the Fever's Teaira McCowan can be seen entering Bankers Life Fieldhouse to face off against a Demogorgon as the Strange Things theme music plays in the background:
