The fans have been clamoring for the school known for wearing the Old Gold and Blue to actually wear it. They will finally get their wish.
Rivals columnist Keenan Cummings has suggested that the West Virginia Mountaineers may finally wear the color combination fans have been clamoring for. The single most classic look of West Virginia football is blue helmets, blue jerseys and gold pants.
Since switching to the newest iteration of uniform concepts, which include matte helmets and redesigned numbers to resemble coal miner pickaxes, just to name a few changes, the Mountaineers have only worn the classic color combination once: against Texas Tech in 2013.
