PWHL Unveils Jerseys for Four Expansion Teams

City-name diagonal wordmarks with local color palettes define the expansion teams' first-season look pending later rollout of official names and logos.

Overview

  • The PWHL unveiled home and away jerseys for Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas and San Jose on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, using a diagonal city wordmark for each club.
  • Each team’s color scheme links to local identity: Detroit uses black, silver and red tied to the auto industry and 'Hockeytown'; Hamilton favors gold, burnt orange and deep red for its steel and sports history; Las Vegas shows green, gold and navy for desert imagery; San Jose features mandarin orange and sky blue referencing regional agriculture and the city flag.
  • Detroit’s announcement included commercial details that the jerseys are produced by Bauer and will carry an Ally Financial patch, and the team is selling the uniforms ahead of its Dec. 12 home opener at Little Caesars Arena.
  • The league confirmed that official team names and full logos will not appear on game uniforms this season but will be revealed later and incorporated into kits for the 2027–28 campaign.
  • The jersey rollout accompanies confirmed operational steps toward the 12-team season opener on Dec. 5, 2026, and follows reporting that Detroit’s assembled roster ranks among the stronger expansion clubs on paper, a factor that may shape fan interest and ticket and merchandise demand.
