AN ALTERNATE TAKE FOR A LEGEND. 🐍☀️

Yesterday, I shared one modern tribute to Diana Taurasi ahead of her jersey retirement.

Today, I wanted to share an alternate direction.

For this version, I leaned into a ’90s Nike/editorial aesthetic — heavy halftone, film grain, high-contrast imagery, a limited black and gold palette, and Taurasi’s own words to the fans.

I also wanted to incorporate her signature logo to make the piece feel less like a traditional sports graphic and more like a portrait of an icon.

Two different approaches.
One legendary career.

And tonight, No. 3 goes to the rafters.

Tune In 9 PM ET on ESPN

Which direction do you prefer: yesterday’s cinematic tribute or this ’90s-inspired alternate?
