PWHL Unveils Detroit Expansion Team's Inaugural Jerseys With a Nod to the 313
Detroit is a city in Wayne County, Michigan. Detroit's professional women's hockey era has its first official look. The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) on Thursday, October 8, unveiled the inaugural jerseys of its four expansion teams — Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas and San Jose — which will begin their first season on December 5-6. Following league tradition, each expansion team's first sweater carries the city name stitched diagonally down the front. Detroit will wear black home jerseys and white away jerseys with white, silver and red accents: the palette nods to the city's "313" area code, while the red honors Detroit's "Hockeytown" heritage built by the Red Wings. The Red Wings posted a video of players reacting to the sweaters, which passed the test with flying colors. Team nicknames and logos for all four expansion clubs will be announced before the 2026-27 season. Detroit's selection as an expansion market reflects its deep hockey roots and large fan base. The new team adds another professional franchise to the city's winter sports calendar, with the nickname, logo and schedule reveals still to come.
