The three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury today announced theme nights and premium item giveaways for the 2018 season, highlighted by five “Orange Fridays” brought to you by Effen Vodka throughout the summer. Each Orange Friday will feature the team donning their orange Nike Statement edition uniforms, orange signage throughout Talking Stick Resort Arena, an orange giveaway, a postgame party in the Effen Vodka Lounge and more.

All Orange Friday activations will also take place during the team’s game against the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday, July 21. The first two Orange Fridays on May 18 and June 8 will include the opportunity for fans to enter to win a Vegas getaway with the Mercury during their first-ever trip to Las Vegas for a matchup with the Aces on Sunday, June 17.

The 2018 promotional calendar includes fan-favorites such as the team’s fourth annual PRIDE Night brought to you by Coors Light, Steward Health Care “Rock The Pink” in support of breast health awareness, and Woman of Inspiration Night.
