The Las Vegas Aces unveiled their jerseys Thursday morning on Las Vegas TV station KVVU-5, hours before the WNBA Draft in New York City.

The uniforms feature MGM Resorts International’s logo on the left shoulder. The company bought the team in the fall and brought it from San Antonio to Las Vegas.

The draft begins at 4 p.m. PT, and the Aces have the No. 1 overall pick. The Aces are expected to select South Carolina forward and consensus national player of the year A’ja Wilson.
