FOX 2 - The Detroit Professional Women's Hockey League team now has a name and a logo.
Social media revealed that the team will be named Detroit Clutch, as the franchise's nod to the automotive industry.
The logo is that of a tire with tread and the name Detroit emblazoned on the top half-circle above the team name.
A press conference will be held at 9:30 a.m.
The Detroit team is one of four franchises that is set to make the special naming announcement, along with Hamilton, Las Vegas and San Jose.
The team's X page teased that at 10:30 a.m. today at the Little Caesars Arena Team Store, that "Your closet is about to get a whole lot better."
On Oct. 8 the team revealed the jersey colors, which feature both white and black as the dominant color.
They also include silver and red accent colors, which are an ode to "the city’s automotive history, innovative and industrial spirit, and the bold and resilient identity of Metro Detroiters," a news release said.
The PWHL team will play 30 games, including 18 within the expanded Western Conference and the rest in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit opens the season Dec. 6 on the road at Las Vegas before playing its first home game at noon, Dec. 12 against New York at LCA.
"There’s something really special about being the first group to bring PWHL hockey to Detroit," said Josh Sciba, PWHL Detroit Head Coach, previously. "We have an incredible opportunity to build something from the ground up, and we know how much hockey means to this community."
