WVU Reveals Uniform Combo for Penn State Game

A sharp look for the season-opener in Morgantown for the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Thursday evening, the West Virginia Mountaineers revealed their uniform combination for the 2024 home/season opener against No. 8 Penn State. They will go with blue helmets, gold jerseys, and blue pants. This will be the first time seeing the new uniforms that debuted during halftime of the spring game in real, live action. The new threads feature the return of the famous double striped pant and the shoulder stripe that was seen on the uniform for much of the 2000s.
