    I agree that this is a good "one-off" type of starting point for WV.. The color used here is "anthracite"... Anthracite is a dark silvery form of coal.. The coal mining industry is what WV is known for, so it all ties together pretty well, and this shade of grey is much better with the navy and yellow than black.. Make the facemask, shoulder stripes, collar, cuffs, and numbers navy instead of black, and this is actually a good look for WV..

    I agree. I know that was not black, but it was the closest to it we have had.

    It makes sense in terms of their nickname but it's hideous. If they want to emphasize coal-mining they should make black an official school color and phase out navy blue.

    I agree that it does not look good as they use it, but thy would never take navy blue out as the primary color. Old gold and blue are the state colors, so that would probably not happen.

    I would not be opposed to a black and old gold(yellow) uniform worn once a year in a night game, though. Such as these:

  3. Ads on soccer jerseys are not bad(if done right)... let me explain.

    The game is 90 minutes long with only a 15 minute break in the middle. Do to the fact that there are no ads during the game, such as the NFL or MLB, the sponsor logo can be OK. 

    But only if it is done right. A simple word mark that is changed to the team's colors looks fine. Example: Arsenal

    But if the sponsor is large and non team colors it looks bad. Example: Man United

    NFL: Steelers(^)
