It has been a couple of days since the West Virginia football team revealed their new black alternate uniforms, which many are referring to as the ‘Coal Rush’ jerseys.
The uniforms pay homage to the state’s rich mining history with many features representing coal miners’ uniforms. The jerseys have been received well by many online.
I was at WVU from 1971 through 1975 and I hated the old WVU helmets that had the state of WV outlined on the helmet. And then in 1980, the magnificent “Flying WV” came in to existence. WOW! PLEASE, get rid of this old helmet decal and use only the Flying WV as our university’s emblem!
