7. Blue Helmets, Gold Jerseys, Blue Pants
Last Time Worn: December 1, 2012 vs Kansas
Game Result: WVU defeats Kansas 59-10
Reasoning: This look is a hair better than the gray-gold-gray combination based on historical performance. The Mountaineers have had a history of success in this combination, dating back to their unveiling in 2007 vs Mississippi State (38-13 win).
There is no better color combination than gold and blue. This combination takes the classic Mountaineers gold and blue combination with a twist.
The inversion of gold and blue, when combined with the blue helmet, gives the uniform a sense of pleasing symmetry.
It also doesn’t hurt when you see the uniform combination displayed in multiple highlight reels of sick touchdown passes.
