Sabalenka USO25 PJ: PS6.1 throwback in gloss?

Haven't heard any talk about the PJ she used during USO25. Never got a good long look at it, but it absolutely wasn't the standard green Blade. More like an old 80s-/90s-era ProStaff, with red fading to orange (?) to yellow. Some Yonex models of that era had something similar.

Did I hallucinate this? Haven't come across others noticing or mentioning it on here.
 
I've seen this racket discussed in perhaps 2-3 threads since I noticed Sabalenka playing with a new PJ.

Wilson detail the design process here: https://www.wilson.com/en-us/blog/t...ryna-sabalenka-custom-designed-us-open-racket

It's currently sold out on the Wilson website having retailed for $269: https://www.wilson.com/en-us/product/blade-98-v9-16x19-fighter-wr20740

I like the design apart from the blue on the neck of the frame. Perhaps if it was more of a dark purple I'd have liked it, otherwise the other colours meld nicely together.
 
Thanks. Not exactly a PS6.1 Classic, more going on. Didn't see other threads, but honestly didn't look that long or hard.
