June 20, 1863, the Federal Government did something sports casters today still cannot do - recognize West Virginia as an independent entity from Virginia. In celebration of West Virginia Day, and the renewal of one of the best and most historic rivalries in college sports, the West Virginia Mountaineers unveiled a one-time special uniform that will be worn when the Mountaineers and Pittsburgh Panthers meet and renew their rivalry.
The uniform will feature a white helmet, white jersey and white pant with blue and gold trim. The helmet features an outline of the state of West Virginia with the flying WV logo inside the state.
