4_tattoos Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 WVU's new shoulder stripes don't make me think of the Pat White era.

Ted Cunningham Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 23 minutes ago, DCarp1231 said: Not a fan of the new WV jerseys It's unfortunate from a branding standpoint that WVU's arguably most consistently successful stretch of seasons were in the Pat White/Geno Smith uniforms as those are the uniforms that much of a broader national audience associates with WVU. While I think that design was essentially a far more tasteful application of the original 1997 Denver Broncos striping and is fairly tame by standards of the time, each redesign since they went to the navy helmet and the flying WV (1980) has been unnecessary tinkering (to outright eschewing) with that original look. A modernization of the original look would be my preference (if not an outright return to that look; though that's unrealistic given Nike's coherent branding across the University's sports programs). And I don't hate some of the changes and added elements that the 2019 redesign brought: there's more emphasis on the navy-gold-navy striping. I liked the Country Roads alternates for a big game, etc. And while the flying WV is the mark that the team should use, I don't mind it within the state outline as an alternate logo. These new ones are slightly worse than what they replace. (There's too much gold on these for the navy jerseys, just like there was too much gold on the navy jerseys in the 2019 set.) But they're still better than the pickax uniforms or either of the jerseys Pat White wore (taking the timeline back to 2002, which wasn't really great either because they had inexplicably added white drop shadows to the numbers that year). 1 hour ago, 4_tattoos said: WVU's new shoulder stripes don't make me think of the Pat White era.

While this was not the first thing I thought of when I saw those stripes (I figured they were going for what Pat White/Geno Smith wore, but I also thought Houston Texans or even USC since they didn't have the side panel/Broncos stripes), this is an interesting point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably still change up the pant stripes colors on the blue pants, but they are all using the same pattern which I guess is good. Until I saw a game last year, I hadn't realized that West Virginia had changed their uniforms in 2021. I still though they had the uniforms with contrasting sleeves. I also wonder if we'll see a fourth uniform at some point in the year as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why Matt Campbell hates yellow so much. EDIT: There are Yellow pants from this picture! How often they'll be worn though I don't know. Hopefully at least a few games a year. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I love, love, love the "I-State" look. I prefer these colors without blue trim. And I really didn't like the spinning bird on top of the initials. Their first look, while a bit too USCish was my favorite. Everything since has been a step back in my opinion. Even so, these are still very nice and amongst the best in the country (there are times I'd have called the USCish unis #1 in the country).
