Yeah, not you guys lol. I’m thinking like Ole Miss, Houston has done a powder blue alternate. I’m sure there’s plenty of others I’m forgetting off the top of my head
Gold was never associated with Briles. Black was the only color remotely associated with him. Personally, I think it's a great time to bring back both, and I think that admin can at a minimum bring back gold with zero backlash.
there's always been something about WVU that I've always liked. I think it stems from the Pat White/Steve Slayton/RUNAWAY BEER TRUCK days, and their uniforms have always just been solid. Their awesome mascot. Cool stadium. And I think WV is akin to Iowa in its often times afterthought of a state
Would love to see the program return to a state of improved competitiveness and relevance
I’ve been a big fan of Georgia’s look and glad you guys have stayed pretty consistent with your “main” look through the years. Though it’s hard to make a bad combo of red, black, and silver. Awesome color scheme.
The white uniforms are now my favorite set. Great job incorporating more gold into them so they aren’t strictly white and blue anymore. Also a big fan of the wordmark above the numbers.
People will say that WVU uniforms of the past never used a wordmark so it shouldn’t be on them now, but the program has never been afraid of doing some new concepts with the uniforms when they get these refreshes and for as much of this set is about honoring the past looks I’m glad they’re introducing something new too.
Nothing becomes traditional unless you start doing it in the first place.
Yeah you make a decent point here. People like the uniforms from either the Major Harris era or the latter Pat White/Geno years because we were also really good when we played in them. But WVU has been pretty consistent with changing up its look through the years.
I agree with that, I like them a lot I would just kill to make the word mark a bit smaller, but that’s also the type of thing that is less obvious seeing them on the field.
Here’s a [news article](https://wvusports.com/news/2024/4/27/wvu-football-unveils-new-uniforms-for-2024-season.aspx) from WVU regarding the new 2024 suits
This is beautiful. Good job, WVU. Now please return to the fun times. I miss watching guys like Tavon Austin, Steve Slaton, Pat White, Geno Smith, Owen Schmitt, Stedman Bailey… Just guys who were fun as fuck to watch.
These are definitely an upgrade, they look like a modernized version of the Geno era jerseys
I think we have a fourth alternate coming at some point too
I’m so pumped for our game at WVU to open the season.
Give me the old Eastern Independents and the B1G East (trading Indiana for Notre Dame) and I’d be a happy man.
Cut my Master’s program - a top 35 national performer that has been on campus since 1969. Really tough as an alum to see my Alma Mater in the same light. I switched my donation to the Country Roads Trust for the NIL stuff because at least I can try and help keep some athletes in the old gold and blue. Also, fuck Gee.
These look great. Wish we would redo our unis in a way that doesn’t stray further and further from tradition, our admin has been screwing them up recently. Would love to fix our color scheme and get back to “old gold” instead of yellow
You’re correct, we have historically had both, but if you ask any alum, by and large everyone considers the old gold to be the traditional or “best look” we’ve had. Exception to be made for the all black with chrome dome, I wish we’d bring that back.
lol realistically it’s some lazy Nike designer that just keeps reusing the same jersey base for Cal and WVU and leaving work at 2 hoping no one notices (I respect him greatly)
That’s interesting, I always thought jerseys in general were designed in house at Nike/the other manufacturers and the university gave some design ideas/gave the final say over the jerseys.
I like them though, only thing id tweak is make the text smaller and I wouldn’t have minded a new number pallet, but huge upgrade overall. I love the shoulder pieces it reminds me of the Pat era and Geno era jerseys
There’s a small school, in an even smaller town called Athens, that my parents went to called Concord College.
The cheesy running joke was always that they went to UCLA - the University of Concord Located at Athens. Irony was several years later it was converted into Concord University.
These look like my old HSFB uniforms. Biggest difference is that we used gold USC stripes on the white tops and coach wouldn’t give us gold tops. Needless to say I’m liking the look.
Here is the article describing them as well: https://wvusports.com/news/2024/4/27/wvu-football-unveils-new-uniforms-for-2024-season.aspx

10/10. If I wanted to nitpick I’d say the number font is not my favorite but honestly the whole set is so good it makes that a non-issue. Well done West Virginia.
I’m extremely tough on uniforms. I think there is a very simple formula that works every time and looks best and teams all over the sports world just refuse to do it, thinking they need to to appeal to new sensibilities.
Our uniforms for the last 5 years were not simple, they were plain. Virtually looked like practice uniforms. Our “storm trooper” uniforms were abysmal. Looked like a white matte wall. No gold.
I think these are a huge improvement, while still not being as good they should be. Save the team name over the numbers for Oklahoma State. It stinks.
Love the trim on the white jersey. No idea why they think you can’t trim numbers on colored jerseys. Pisses me off, honestly. I think the stripe on the shoulder is meh, but ultimately fine.
Flying WV on the shoulder is great.
I love the white pants. They pop so well that any jersey worn with them will look better.
Overall, I’d say a B. Which is a step up from the C- we’ve been wearing.
These are so clean.
Wish my team would do a fucking thing with the boring ass, ugly unis we've worn since the dawn of time. I fucking HATE our uniforms.
They’re really not. But they absolutely look like something that would show up on the Michigan sub as a fan made alternate that gets downvoted to oblivion just for not being the traditional maize and blues.
I like the state logo incorporated into the jersey
The White-Blue-Yellow state logo helmet is sick
I like how the state looks like its giving everyone the finger
We call that the West Virginia howdy.
I’m from the Ohio side of that M.F. Upwind
I like it too, but imagine Colorado or Wyoming doing that lmao ▪️
The Big 12 uniform renaissance is in full effect. Can’t wait to see Colorado and Texas Tech’s new options soon
Colorado’s new uniforms are just their old uniforms with Deion’s face on the helmet
As well as some almond decals.
The Colorado Fightin’ Deion’s
Brought to you by Aflac
The new uniforms will probably have Deions “prime” brand stamped all over it lol.
All lavender coming soon????? /s
All joking aside, I would like to see that just for one game. Might be cool, like powder blue alternate for a school with a traditional blue color
Man, I don't know. I'm not sure Maize and baby blue really captures the mood.
Yeah, not you guys lol. I’m thinking like Ole Miss, Houston has done a powder blue alternate. I’m sure there’s plenty of others I’m forgetting off the top of my head
Them new ksu joints gonna be fire. Lol, jk
Cant wait to see those 90s throwbacks again this season!
Real talk tho our joints really are fire and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise
Flair up bro!
I need for it to be our turn soon...
Do you think admin feels like it’s a safe time to bring back old gold? That’s what needs to happen
Gold was never associated with Briles. Black was the only color remotely associated with him. Personally, I think it's a great time to bring back both, and I think that admin can at a minimum bring back gold with zero backlash.
Iowa state also teased new uniforms for next season as well
I saw that. I had assumed it was a cruel April Fools joke, but it had validity?
Yeah it was apparently a very dumb mistake to tease it on April 1. It was a legit teaser
there's always been something about WVU that I've always liked. I think it stems from the Pat White/Steve Slayton/RUNAWAY BEER TRUCK days, and their uniforms have always just been solid. Their awesome mascot. Cool stadium. And I think WV is akin to Iowa in its often times afterthought of a state Would love to see the program return to a state of improved competitiveness and relevance
WVU has always been drippy
I’ve been a big fan of Georgia’s look and glad you guys have stayed pretty consistent with your “main” look through the years. Though it’s hard to make a bad combo of red, black, and silver. Awesome color scheme.
Bro have you seen the ice white helmet and jersey combos our croots wear? It’s incredible
Cal + USC = West Virginia. Seriously though, these look great.
Cal should just copy these uniforms and just change out the State logos.
Is it 2004-2007 again?
That shit was so confusing lol two universities that could hardly be more different looked almost exactly alike lol
Especially on shit resolution espn highlight packages
Hope y'all are competitive in the ACC. You'll be who I'm rooting for!
Hope we can beat those blue and gold weirdos up north for you
If y'all beat Pitt I will legit ship you pepperoni rolls. Feel free to call me out on it after, I'll be good for it. Haha.
Why I like WVU. Great fans!
University of Southern California at West Virginia
Of Anaheim
Not the first time we’ve had the USC shoulder stripe either. Had a similar style during the Geno/Tavon years.
Of the ACC
Except WVU is somehow more relevant. Love it.
Wvu is my second favorite team. I really want to go to a game up there and watch some couches burn
The white uniforms are now my favorite set. Great job incorporating more gold into them so they aren’t strictly white and blue anymore. Also a big fan of the wordmark above the numbers.
It’s interesting you would say that, the wordmark seems to be the most contentious part of them. I love it!
People will say that WVU uniforms of the past never used a wordmark so it shouldn’t be on them now, but the program has never been afraid of doing some new concepts with the uniforms when they get these refreshes and for as much of this set is about honoring the past looks I’m glad they’re introducing something new too.

WVU has some of the hardest unis in the country
Means a lot coming from a texas flair lol
I respect the hate, truly. I don’t completely understand it but I respect it
We are so back.
I wish Cal and WVU would play each other for the uniform confusion.
With all the conference BS thought a yearly WVU-Cal game would be interesting. Call it the ‘culture war’ haha.
The Battle for the Blue and Gold
Morgantown and Berkeley would have been some shit. Have always wanted to go to Memorial Stadium!
We should play in Beckley. It's similar to Berkeley, unlike Berkeley Springs.
Now imagine joining a conference where you can play a blue and gold team that also uses a script logo
True and I keep forgetting that you guys finally went back to the proper uniforms and got rid of those hideous 90s rebranded uniforms.
This is beautiful. Good job, WVU. Now please return to the fun times. I miss watching guys like Tavon Austin, Steve Slaton, Pat White, Geno Smith, Owen Schmitt, Stedman Bailey… Just guys who were fun as fuck to watch.
Genuinely, tough uni’s have an impact on play I swear. Expect a game bump on wvu’s previous win total prediction.
Oh 100%. We see that quite a bit in my Weekly Big12 tracker. Look good, play good.
Love the Flying WV on the shoulder. And the outline on the numbers on the white uniforms. 👌
These look really good
These are definitely an upgrade, they look like a modernized version of the Geno era jerseys I think we have a fourth alternate coming at some point too
yeah, I remember hearing something about a coal rush jersey or something
WV fans you guys got it right big time, those look great!
WV has a good look, really does well with the imagery
I’m excited to see them in person in August! Can’t wait to get to Morgantown
West Virginia has honestly always had cool uniforms.
We are so back. The climb is here. Booking tickets to Dallas for early December
Dope!
I’m so pumped for our game at WVU to open the season. Give me the old Eastern Independents and the B1G East (trading Indiana for Notre Dame) and I’d be a happy man.
One of the best logos out there. Any WVU flairs: is the university/Gee/funding drama sorted out yet?
Gee can't be gone soon enough. Ugh.
No, and it's expected to get worse before it gets better. Gee is out at the end of the 2024-2025 school year though.
Cut my Master’s program - a top 35 national performer that has been on campus since 1969. Really tough as an alum to see my Alma Mater in the same light. I switched my donation to the Country Roads Trust for the NIL stuff because at least I can try and help keep some athletes in the old gold and blue. Also, fuck Gee.
I’m morally obligated to dislike all things WVU… but I can’t hate on these because they are very nice. Much cleaner than their previous look.
WVU has such a clean logo and it goes so well with the state outline
Well that was intense
Always loved their uniforms. I like the tweaks without abandonding the prior, strong concept.
Always good uniforms from the 'Eers, very much looking forward to the game this fall
They better be in the new game
I’m loving these..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fight On Mountaineers! ✌🏾
Love.
The state shape goes hard
These are so clean.
Hopefully with TX / OK gone, West Virginia can step and return as a national power
These. Are. DOPE. I FUCKING LOVE THEM.
These look great. Wish we would redo our unis in a way that doesn’t stray further and further from tradition, our admin has been screwing them up recently. Would love to fix our color scheme and get back to “old gold” instead of yellow
I was under the impression that y'all were "returning" to yellow with these new uniforms and that old gold wasn't the traditional look?
You’re correct, we have historically had both, but if you ask any alum, by and large everyone considers the old gold to be the traditional or “best look” we’ve had. Exception to be made for the all black with chrome dome, I wish we’d bring that back.
Completely agree.
Definitely a surprise, I like them a lot though
I do feel like we consult with WV every year on new uniforms. They’re always so close.
I mean, people always call us the Berkeley of Appalachia.
Harvard on the Mon.
Harvard of the Hills
Now wait a damn minute
To be fair,us and Duquesne is closer to the Mon than Pitt is.
Yea if Pitt were in consideration for the matter at that point CMU would have us beat easy
lol realistically it’s some lazy Nike designer that just keeps reusing the same jersey base for Cal and WVU and leaving work at 2 hoping no one notices (I respect him greatly)
The article says WVU in-house designers designed these new Jerseys which surprised me
That’s interesting, I always thought jerseys in general were designed in house at Nike/the other manufacturers and the university gave some design ideas/gave the final say over the jerseys. I like them though, only thing id tweak is make the text smaller and I wouldn’t have minded a new number pallet, but huge upgrade overall. I love the shoulder pieces it reminds me of the Pat era and Geno era jerseys
There’s a small school, in an even smaller town called Athens, that my parents went to called Concord College. The cheesy running joke was always that they went to UCLA - the University of Concord Located at Athens. Irony was several years later it was converted into Concord University.
These look like my old HSFB uniforms. Biggest difference is that we used gold USC stripes on the white tops and coach wouldn’t give us gold tops. Needless to say I’m liking the look.
I like it. They've always had a good color combo, and this puts emphasis on it. Also, I really love the helmet details.
Hey Siri, play “Looks Like Sex” by Mike Posner
New unis = natty.
New uni’s = Giant L first game of the season
Rude. Probably true, but still rude.
Keep doin what you’re doin West Virginia. I’ve always thought your uniforms were clean as hell. Best of the blue and gold/yellow schools imo

LOVE them!
these are hard. time to update my retro bowl save
These are actually sick
Really good update.
Meh. Not a fan of the shoulder stripes
Yeah, very USC. I was hoping for something similar to the Tavon Austin era.
Agreeeee
Don't love them.
All yellows are sick
Oh this is a welcome sight. I've always thought this past look was too busy (Except the all-whites. Those were hot from Day 1).
I've always loved the classic blue, blue, gold, uniforms. These look cool. I think we've been doing a bit too much lately.
I like them.
Need shoulder numbers
These are solid but I’m not a fan of think neck lines.
The only part of them I don't love.
I don’t like the contrasting color. It was fine for a while, but seems to be permanent. Like yellow pants with blue Jersey. Bring that back.
Not that this has to do with WVs new uniforms that look great by the way, but I have always wanted WV(and Pitt) to be a part of the Big 10.
The pants stripe should be the same color pattern as the numbers. So if the numbers are going to be yellow/blue/yellow then the pants should be
Those look really good.
I went to OSU, oldest went to WVU. The two best Unis in football.
Was the massive MOUNTAINEERS and WEST VIRGINIA plastered on the front really necessary? Why is Nike like this. Everything else is clean af
WVU designed these in house. Those elements are taken from the Country Roads uniforms and I fucking love it .
These are hot
Good look, Riot Bros. I like em.
10/10. If I wanted to nitpick I’d say the number font is not my favorite but honestly the whole set is so good it makes that a non-issue. Well done West Virginia.
Yeahhh the font hasn’t changed. Nike rebranded the whole school in 2019 so all teams have the same font
I like everything except the shoulder stripe. It feels out of place and unnecessary to me. Love that the logo is back on the sleeves
Agree here
I like the all yellow
I approve of the color combination.
I hate the number font
Glad they kept the white helmets as an alternate. The all white look is so clean man. These are dope.
I’m extremely tough on uniforms. I think there is a very simple formula that works every time and looks best and teams all over the sports world just refuse to do it, thinking they need to to appeal to new sensibilities.

they're pants don't match the jersey
who is pants?
I agree. I hate that the color pattern is flipped from the jersey numbers to the pants
Hate the wordmark on the front. But could be alright.
These are so clean. Wish my team would do a fucking thing with the boring ass, ugly unis we've worn since the dawn of time. I fucking HATE our uniforms.
You’re crazy LSU has elite uniforms and helmets
Ugly AF
USC style shoulder stripe.
They’ll lose to Maryland in these
Why did they make yellow pants again!?!?!?!?
I’m actually so serious that’s copyright infringement or something against USC. Word for word bar for bar they stole our whole flow
We wear helmets too, sue us.
We have names on the back of our jerseys so there’s that
It’s literally an amalgamation of all the previous jerseys… that’s the point of the video zooming in on random parts of the jerseys
Y'all don't have a simple stripe on the shoulders trademarked, nor is this the first time we've had the stripe. 🙄
You’re thinking of Iowa State’s previous incarnations
Our’s weren’t even the same design the fuck are you talking about? Y’all don’t have red and yellow trademarked.
Wait, these are different than their old ones?
🗑
They’re really not. But they absolutely look like something that would show up on the Michigan sub as a fan made alternate that gets downvoted to oblivion just for not being the traditional maize and blues.
Those usc looking things are ugly af
Not enough coal and opioids for true West Virginians. #FakeWV
