The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) launched in 2024 with six charter franchises, added the Seattle Torrent and Vancouver Goldeneyes for 2025-26, and grows to 12 teams for the 2026-27 season with new clubs in Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas, and San Jose. The original six unveiled their names and identities together in September 2024. Every entry includes official HEX, RGB, CMYK, and Pantone values verified against official team artwork.

What do PWHL team colors mean?
Every PWHL team's color palette tells a story - rooted in city identity, history, or the symbolism behind the team's name.
Minnesota Frost
Purple is the Frost's core colour, paired with a lighter lavender that reads like ice catching the light. Together they give the State of Hockey's team a palette unlike any other in the league.
Montréal Victoire
Deep burgundy is the signature colour, set against stone and navy. The league describes the stone and blues as complementary shades that give the identity a refined, classic feel.
Ottawa Charge
Red is the Charge's core colour, carrying the energy in the team name, with gold and grey in support. The red and gold also connect the team to the capital's established hockey identity.
Toronto Sceptres
Royal blue leads the palette, with gold and yellow drawn from the regalia of a sceptre. The colours tie the team to Toronto's royal history and its nickname, the Queen City.
PWHL team logo meanings
Each PWHL logo reflects the team's character, city, or founding story.
Minnesota Frost
A stylized F in purple and lavender with angular edges and sharp points, shaped to recall icicles.
Montréal Victoire
Wing-like shapes that allude to the Goddess of Victory, with a hidden M within the wings and a fleur-de-lis at the centre, set inside a shield topped by the VICTOIRE wordmark.
Ottawa Charge
A red O monogram drawn to look like a spinning object charged with electric current, conveying energy and forward movement.
Toronto Sceptres
The initials T and S combined into a single mark, with a royal sceptre running through its centre to evoke power.
How to recreate a PWHL logo
If you're designing fan art or a creative project using PWHL team colors, here's a general workflow:
- Get the official colors - use the HEX, RGB, and Pantone values from this page or the team's individual color page.
- Source the logo SVG - official SVG logos are available through official PWHL team websites and league press materials.
- Open in a vector tool - Adobe Illustrator, Figma, or Affinity Designer all work well for SVG editing.
- Apply official colors - replace any approximate colors with the exact values from team brand guidelines.
- Respect usage rights - PWHL team logos are trademarked. Fan art is generally tolerated but commercial use requires licensing.
PWHL teams with similar colors to other leagues
Several PWHL teams share their color palette with franchises across other leagues - creating cross-sport color connections.
Ottawa Charge
Ottawa Senators (NHL) - the Charge share the Canadian Tire Centre with the Senators and build on a similar red and gold.
Montréal Victoire
Montreal Canadiens (NHL) - the Victoire's burgundy and navy are a deeper take on the red and blue long associated with hockey in Montreal.
Minnesota Frost
Minnesota Vikings (NFL) - purple leads both identities, though the Frost use a darker, cooler shade.
Toronto Sceptres
Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) - blue anchors both of Toronto's professional hockey teams, with the Sceptres adding gold and yellow.
