With preseason approaching, the PWHL's six teams continue to get an upgrade. After spending the inaugural season with largely nondescript uniforms, the league unveiled new home and away uniforms on Thursday.

The uniforms mark the latest rebranding effort by the league ahead of its second season, after a rapid start led the teams to have very simple designs for the inaugural year. The PWHL revealed the new names and logos for all six inaugural teams in September, rebranding the teams as Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, Victoire de Montreal, New York Sirens, Ottawa Charge and Toronto Sceptres.

The teams will wear dark, bolder colors for home games, with all of the teams locking up a unique color profile.

For away games, all six teams will wear lighter colors. Most of the teams will wear white, while Victoire de Montréal will favor a more sand color to fit with their color scheme.

The PWHL will begin the preseason later this month, before kicking off the season on Nov. 30 with a matchup between Boston and Toronto, followed by Ottawa vs. Montréal.

After spending the inaugural season in a variety of smaller stadiums, two of the teams will now share arenas with NHL squads, with Minnesota hosting games at Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and New York hosting in Prudential Center, home of the New Jersey Devils. The other teams will hold games in smaller stadiums, shared with AHL teams or other equivalents.

The regular season will run through early May, followed by a postseason to aim for the Walter Cup. Minnesota took home the inaugural Walter Cup last season, marking the historic feat with a 3-0 win over Boston.
