Uniform resets typically happen about every six years or so and this is one West Virginia fans have been impatiently waiting for. Don’t get me wrong, the current set looks clean but it lacks character. It’s very plain, very blah, especially the road uniforms. The absence of gold on the road uniform makes it a close resemblance of Penn State with all of the blue and white. It just doesn’t look like West Virginia.

With this new rollout, they have a chance to get it right and honor the storied history of Mountaineer football by bringing back stripes on the pants, block numbers, a glossy finish on the helmets, and the flying WV back on the shoulders. Will it happen? I have a hunch of some of that will be incorporated, but not all of it. I assume this will be more of a clash of honoring the past with a modern feel to it.
