As the Indiana Fever entered Chase Center on June 19 ahead of their matchup against the Golden State Valkyries, the spotlight was already on them, thanks not only to their Commissioner’s Cup Final berth but also to what they were wearing before tip-off. Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull turned heads walking in, not in team-issued warmups, but in something far more deliberate: Indiana Pacers gear. With the Pacers set to face elimination that same evening in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Fever stars weren’t just supporting from afar—they were mirroring their city’s basketball identity, top to bottom.
Hull wore a beige jacket emblazoned with “Pacers” in block letters. Clark kept it classic in a navy blue zip-up with the Pacers logo front and center. The Fever’s official X account confirmed it wasn’t a coincidence but their intent to display cross-franchise solidarity. it wasn’t just Clark and Hull making a statement. Teammates Sophie Cunningham and Brianna Turner also joined the pregame show of unity in Pacers-themed fits, signaling a collective visual cue. Even those who went a different route, like Sydney Colson, who stood out in head-to-toe orange, opted for intentional styling. But not everyone walked in wearing team colors.
That contrast set the stage. Because while some players leaned into the shared identity of Indiana hoops, others arrived dressed down—but not without thought. Natasha Howard and Damiris Dantas both went with muted palettes and oversized silhouettes, playing into a quieter style mode. And then there was Aliyah Boston.

Boston took to Instagram and dropped her full reveal. Her look—a pair of wide-leg blue jeans, a crisp white crop top, and white block-heeled sandals—wasn’t loud or flashy. But it was sharp, clean, and clearly curated. It offered a refreshing contrast to the louder branding worn by her teammates while still feeling event-appropriate. More importantly, it fit perfectly into Boston’s growing off-court aesthetic: relaxed, structured, and unmistakably her own.

It wasn’t the first time she’d stepped into the fashion spotlight, either. Boston has been carving out her stylistic space slowly but deliberately, most notably at the 2024 Orange Carpet event, where she wore a bold red leather ensemble. But this June 19 moment, in a game following back-to-back wins against New York and Connecticut, hit differently. The Fever had just secured their Commissioner’s Cup Final berth, and Boston’s outfit hit social media before the box score even settled. The image was already circulating by the time her teammates began flooding the comment section.
Indiana Fever teammates hype Aliyah Boston!
First, it was Damiris Dantas who dropped a 🔥 emoji and a ❤️, signaling just how good her teammate looked. Of course, this isn’t the first time Boston has stunned social media with her presence. She has also made other bold fashion statements that have drawn praise for their “boldness and confidence.”

So yes, we already know her fashion game is elite, and so does the Fever locker room. But their praise had a broader purpose. “FINISH YOUR BOOK,” penned Sydney Colson. No, it’s not about Aliyah becoming an author. It’s about writing history, because Boston’s post came right after the two-time All-Star reached another milestone by climbing the leaderboard for the most blocks in Fever franchise history.

And honestly, that’s not surprising considering that the Fever’s center is already averaging 13.5 points on 59.4% shooting, 7.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks in 29.0 minutes per game. But that’s not all she’s known for. The Fever star also leads her team in rebounding with 8.1 boards per game.
But, that’s not enough because despite her dominating nearly every stat line, Lexie Hull had a unique request for her teammate. “More three’s please,” Hull commented. And yes, that’s the team’s leader in three-point percentage asking Boston, who currently stands second on that list, to shoot more from deep. It makes sense. Boston is shooting 50% from beyond the arc, and with defenses tightening around her in the 2025 season, expanding her range could be a game-changer for both her and the Fever.

Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) celebrates with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) altering recording a triple-double Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, during the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Indiana Fever defeated the Los Angeles Sparks, 93-86.
So that’s how Hull made sure her message landed, in the comments section. And when everyone else was there, how could Caitlin Clark, one of Boston’s closest friends on the team, stay quiet? “Slay baby,” she wrote. We know how much Clark wants Boston to shine. Well, their bond has been clear on and off the court, from filming TikToks during the offseason to supporting one another through intense game moments. But the depth of their bond can be measured by the incident when Boston stepped in during a tense altercation involving Angel Reese.

So, you know how close CC is to Boston. And that’s why even CC’s photographer, Bri Lewerke, dived into the comment section with “Shooter.” Well, that makes sense considering she’s captured Boston in countless moments, whether pulling up for a shot or battling in the paint. So that’s how unity roared in the Indiana Fever’s comment section.
