As part of the expansion announcement, the team's colours were revealed to be Pacific blue and cream. The PWHL also stated that the franchise would operate under the temporary namePWHL Vancouver until a permanent brand identity is announced, following a similar approach taken by the "Inaugural Six" teams during the2023–24 PWHL season.[9]
