It’s fitting for the new franchise to be called Six since they are sixth franchise to enter the NWHL. The logo was designed by M Style Marketing, who has worked on other NWHL projects like the All-Star jerseys in Nashville, Minnesota, and Boston. The Six uniforms will be unveiled at a later date.
With the logo revealed and the uniforms coming soon, the Six are ready to hit the ice for their inaugural 2020-21 season.
