I of course like the Gold and Blue but I am not apposed to this. It is fun and novel. This uniform shall be worn at least once during season and may be worn as often as the team chooses. "The uniforms are inspired by and pay homage to West Virginia's coal tradition, and are dedicated to the memory of the 29 miners who lost their lives in the explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine earlier this year. The new uniforms are mostly white, with black accents on the sleeves, yoke and pants. A gold stripe down the middle of the helmet, which is metallic gray and black, symbolizes the beam of light from a coal miner's lamp. The helmet also features a small flying WV on the front nameplate and "Mountaineers" on the protective lip on the bottom back. The flying WV, inside a shield, is also featured on the yoke. fingerprints and smudges, meant to represent a long day's work in the mines, are scattered across the numbers and sleeves of the jersey. The most striking portion of the gear may well be the gold shoes"- Scout.com The gold shoes are representative of the Canaries used in the mines to detect methane. I'll give it a chance.
