PWHL San Jose’s official team colors are “orange, blue and white,” the same colors as the city’s flag, which was adopted in 1984. The PWHL noted the orange is a nod to “the Sharks and the region’s historic orange groves, while blue evokes the beauty of California’s ocean coastline and sky.” PWHL San Jose’s home and road jerseys “will be revealed at a later date” (San Jose MERCURY NEWS, 5/19).
The team is “expected to play at the 17,435-seat SAP Center.” The move comes as San Jose officials explore the development of a sports and entertainment district in downtown. A city memorandum in March outlined a Deloitte study to identify a potential location for the district, which is “aimed at boosting economic activity downtown” (SILICON VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL, 5/19).
