There was once an iconic bridge called The Thames Bridge which ran along this very line, connecting London with Glasgow, but then suddenly disappeared without leaving anything behind but memories! At least I think so… Greg Wyshynski of ESPN recently wrote, “After what felt like an eternity of waiting and preparation – and all those Editor’s Picks-related titles being published about PWHL starting this fall – its time has finally arrived for teams and league to create names, logos and jerseys that represent them.” The Professional Women’s Hockey League officially kicked off their inaugural season earlier than planned due to lack of time before creating names, logos and jerseys that represent them before its inaugural season begins this November 8th 2024!

On Thursday, the league unveiled their logos as they will appear on home and away jerseys starting with 2024-25 season – available to fans to buy directly. Amy Scheer, PWHL senior vice president of business operations told ESPN she anticipates crying the first time someone wears one of their jerseys in public without knowing they belong to their league or not in controlled environments. “My perspective may be biased, but I truly think our names and logos turned out beautifully, while our jersey designs perfectly demonstrate our brands – bright, vibrant and fun are perfect adjectives to describe our jersey designs!” “These jerseys were developed collaboratively between Creative Agency Flower Shop, Bauer Hockey and PWHL teams.” Kanan Bhatt-Shah, Vice President of Brand & Marketing of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), led the creative process. Here is one example of Bhatt-Shah’s creative output; here is one sweater in PWHL featuring input from Bhatt-Shah; here’s another with Hilary Knight in Boston Fleet uniform PWHL The Fleet’s home jersey boasts a vibrant green base with oceanic blue accents on shoulders, sleeves and waist sleeve stripes and waist. This classic hockey design incorporates bands of colors in an undulating wave-like pattern that conveys their strong connection to waterways and coastal environments. “There’s this oceanic feel surrounding this jersey,” Bhatt-Shah observed of Minnesota Frost player Maddie Rooney wearing their home uniform during one of Minnesota’s cold winter nights. PWHL White accents on shoulders, arms and waist add an icy contrast, reflecting the sharp edges of an Arctic landscape.

Each jersey number displays the Fleur-de lys motif to emphasize Montreal’s cultural pride. “During our inaugural season we received positive comments around Montreal’s color palette which helped inspire this choice for their home uniform.” “For us, it was all about tapping into that timeless aesthetic,” Bhatt-Shah noted.

An angular sleeve stripe design echoing this geometric form perfectly blends navy, orange, and gray hues – producing an eye-catching modern motif. New York’s jersey numbers feature line work inspired by sound vibrations. Bhatt-Shah explained it this way: “For us it was about creating that sense of energy with S’s and then using geometric angles so it all fits in terms of city skyline and architecture,” Ashton Bell is wearing in Ottawa Charge’s new uniforms. PWHLThe Charge’s home jersey boasts a vibrant red base with electric yellow pops of colour pulsing through it; this vibrant design captures both their energy and intensity on the ice, with custom numbers featuring small electrical charges for added effect. “Designing in two dimensions makes you see it coming alive more readily than when using more complicated design software like 3-D.” But then we collaborate with Bauer team on what stitching to use and what applications of the crest we require in order to capture its identity,” Bhatt-Shah stated. Toronto SceptresKristen Campbell wears her Toronto Sceptres jersey. PWHL The Sceptres’ home jersey boasts an eye-catching blue base to reflect their city’s leadership and pride, while their bold gold and yellow team crest stands out for a look with strong presence. Custom numbers include an orb from the Sceptres Crest into their custom numbers. Blue was chosen as their base color since Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays both use it, yet PWHL wanted something a bit different: different hues of blue to make their logo distinctive and easily recognized.” “You sort of see different shades of blue everywhere?” These shoes combine navy with rich blue hues that continue over into vibrant pops of gold and yellow for an eye-catching ensemble. Bhatt-Shah explained.The jerseys will initially be sold exclusively online at The Official PWHL Shop before hitting Bauer.com and other key retailers. They come in both adult and youth sizes. Blank jerseys are immediately available, though fans can pre order jerseys featuring select players’ names and numbers starting in December for delivery in early 2025. Two players from each team will initially be available with full rosters being made available by 2025; names and numbers made from high-quality twill fabric will be stitched directly onto the jersey instead of being heat sealed onto replica jerseys like in typical replica instances.
