Angel Reese has trademarked her name as part of an already busy offseason, signaling a potential new merchandise drop. The move comes after she trademarked the phrase "Mebounds" in June, which was initially created by internet trolls to mock her rebounding skills on missed layups.
Reese had poked fun at herself by saying that whoever came up with the "mebounds" term "ate it up," and she flipped it to make it her own. As a result, merchandise featuring the phrase became available for sale, with proceeds going to support victims of cyberbullying - a cause Reese is all too familiar with.
The trademark comes after a tumultuous offseason for Reese, both on and off the basketball court. Her suspension from the Chicago Sky at the end of the season was sparked by comments she made about the team's performance and her potential future with the organization. The team has since stated that they have "moved on" from the incident, but it remains to be seen how this will impact Reese's relationship with the team moving forward.
Reese is set to return for the 2026 season, which promises to feature the All-Star Game at the United Center on July 25. With a busy schedule ahead of her, it's clear that Angel Reese is not one to back down from a challenge - whether it's on or off the court.
