During the 2024 campaign, the West Virginia Mountaineers football program will honor the state’s rich coal heritage and donate money to active miners who work hard every day. They will debut an alternate black “Coal Rush” uniform meant to show respect. Feel the energy, beautiful people.
At this year’s annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, the Mountaineers unveiled brand new blue, gold and white uniforms. The “Coal Rush” uniform is intended to be an addition to WVU that will be displayed on special occasions. The idea for the black alternate uniforms came from the team spending a day with real miners.

I dig it… anything black and white (and/or silver) is going to be lame, and these uniforms are no exception.
