When the Professional Women’s Hockey League was founded in 2023, it was decided there wasn’t enough time before the inaugural season to create names, logos and jerseys they’d adorn. Therefore, teams debuted with geographic names on their jerseys along with unique color schemes.
In September, the PWHL revealed the team names and logos for its six franchises. On Thursday, the league showed what those logos look like on their official home and away jerseys, debuting in the 2024-25 season and available for fans to purchase.
“I am sure I’ll cry the first time I see someone wearing one of our jerseys in the wild, whether it’s at game or not in a controlled environment,” Amy Scheer, PWHL senior vice president of business operations, told ESPN. “I know I’m biased, but I really believe that our names and logos came out really wonderfully and that the jersey designs are just a great expression of our brands. They’re bright, they’re vibrant, they’re really fun.”
The jerseys were created in partnership with Creative Agency Flower Shop, Bauer Hockey and the PWHL teams. Kanan Bhatt-Shah, PWHL Vice President of brand and marketing, led the creative process.
Here are the new sweaters in the PWHL, including input from Bhatt-Shah.

The classic hockey design incorporates alternating bands of color, forming a wave-like pattern that evokes a strong connection to the sea. The wave motif is also found inside the team’s crest.
“There’s this sense of oceanic just enveloping this jersey,” Bhatt-Shah said.
