If you didn't order a Caitlin Clark jersey right after she was drafted to the Indiana Fever, you'll have a long wait before getting one now.
While you can pre-order a jersey at Fanatics, you'll be shocked to hear how long it will take before it gets to you!

We hope you ordered your #22 jersey immediately after the draft if you wanted to be one of the first to wear a Clark jersey while supporting the Indiana Fever this WNBA season. If not, you'll be waiting until the end of the season to get one!
Fanatics is currently taking pre-orders for the next batch of Nike's jerseys for Clark, but there's a catch.
"Caitlin Clark is #22 on the Indiana Fever! We are currently sold out of our initial batch of this jersey - if you choose to place a pre-order today, our restock will be available to ship in August, please see details below. Please trust that we are working hard to service your order," a message reads on the Fanatics website.
When you click to order, the message, "This item will be shipped no later than Wednesday, August 14, 2024," appears.
Caitlin Clark's Jersey Is The 'Highest-Selling' Draft Night Jersey In Fanatics History!
Even off the court, Clark is breaking records!
The Sporting Tribune's Arash Markazi wrote on X, "Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin said that Caitlin Clark had the highest-selling jersey on draft night of any athlete in any sport in the company's history."
And if you think it will be easier to get a jersey from Dick's Sporting Goods, you'd be wrong. They aren't shipping until October!
With the Fever's final regular season game scheduled for Sept. 19, this means if you order from Fanatics, you'll have your jersey for only about a month before the end of the season. Better late than never though, right?
