Vancouver Goldeneyes Unveil First Jerseys Featuring Team Logo
The Vancouver Goldeneyes officially unveiled today their new crested home and away jerseys, which will replace the team’s inaugural-season sweaters when the Goldeneyes hit the ice for their second year in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) on Saturday, Dec. 5.
The new jersey design prominently features the striking Goldeneyes logo — a textured golden eye encircled by wings and pointing to the Pacific Northwest. The five earthy bronze lines on each arm sleeve evoke the wings of the common goldeneye and the team’s logo, introducing a design element that is new to the PWHL.
Another PWHL first, the jersey has dynamic V-shaped blocking on the lower sides, conveying motion and speed while alluding to both the “V” in Vancouver and the team’s fan-favourite “flying V” postgame celebration. In addition, the numbers on the back of each jersey are adorned with the silhouette of the logo’s eye.
“I’m thrilled to see our new jerseys. I love the details, especially the stripes on the sleeves representing wings,” said Goldeneyes forward Jenn Gardiner. “We’ve been building a really special team here in Vancouver, and I think getting a jersey with our logo on the front is an exciting touch as we continue to build on what we started last season. I can’t wait to see fans wearing these jerseys and representing the Goldeneyes alongside us.”
Vancouver’s home and, for the first time, away jerseys, including personalized player options, are available now through the PWHL’s official online shop both in Canada, opens in a new tab and the U.S, opens in a new tab. Jerseys will be available in person, while quantities last, at the Goldeneyes team store at the Pacific Coliseum on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 12-8 p.m. PT, as well as at select Pro Hockey Life and Canadian Tire locations.
“Since becoming the first PWHL expansion city, Vancouver fans have deeply embraced their team while championing and evolving the Goldeneyes identity,” said Amy Scheer, PWHL Executive Vice President, Business Operations. “These new jerseys take that passion one step further, with one-of-a-kind details, big and small, that speak to the love fans have shown for their Goldeneyes and the special culture and community they have created in Vancouver.”
Produced by Bauer, the Official Jersey Partner of the PWHL, the jerseys are crafted from breathable, durable fabrics and engineered to withstand intense physical play while offering a tailored fit for maximum mobility, comfort, and on-ice performance.
“We’re proud to be the official jersey partner of the PWHL because we know what these jerseys symbolize. Across hockey, jerseys create community and connection, and in the PWHL, they also represent a movement toward a brighter future with more opportunities, more women leaders, and greater equity in sports,” said Mary-Kay Messier, Chief Marketing Officer, Bauer Hockey. “The league’s expansion success in Vancouver is another sign of its incredible momentum, bringing that movement to fans from coast to coast.”
The Goldeneyes will debut the new jerseys on Dec. 5 at 1 p.m. PCT when they open the 2026-27 PWHL season against the Seattle Torrent at the Pacific Coliseum.
Single-Game Tickets for all home games at the Pacific Coliseum are available online here.
