9. Blue Helmets, Gold Jerseys, White Pants
Last Time Worn: September 4, 2011 vs Marshall
Game Result: WVU defeats Marshall 34-13 (in a lightning-shortened game)
Reasoning: This uniform combination is just electric (pun intended).
I am not trying to pick on Marshall with these first two picks, that is just the way the combinations rankings fell out.
This look is comparable to the blue helmet, blue jersey, white pants look. It is a fun combination that the Mountaineers have exercised in early regular season match-ups as well as in bowl games.
The gold jersey is a nod to past Mountaineers uniforms, while also appealing to young players. Also, the gold jerseys have been a big hit with Mountaineers fans as evidenced by the shear volume of gold jersey sales.
