The wait is over.

Color and individuality are finally in style in the PWHL, a league that spent its inaugural year with — out of necessity, mind you — muted tones and generic uniforms.

The uniformity of league uniforms has been replaced by color and character, with innovation that can take an already great product and make it even better.

All six teams were given team names and logos about three weeks ago, and their home and away kits were unveiled on Thursday.

The Ottawa Charge starts with a vibrant red base with dark and light gray stripes running along the sleeves and waist. A bold splash of electric yellow runs through the design.

A spinning O logo conveys a sense of movement.

In fact, the overall look is intended to portray the energy and intensity that defines the Charge’s fierce presence on the ice.

Adding to this energetic theme are small electric charges added to the special numbers on the back of the jersey.

“Players and fans have been waiting for this moment, and we couldn’t be happier with the six unique looks each team will showcase moving forward,” Amy Scheer, the league’s senior vice president of business operations, said in a league statement.

“I think what I love most is the momentum in our logo,” Charge team captain Brianne Jenner said in a video released by the PWHL. “I think these flares going off become a little detail that sends a really powerful message.”
