WVU Football Reveals Look for Virginia Game in Charlotte

Making sure they look the part for a premiere game, WVU football will wear their blue, white and blue uniform combination when they take on Virginia this Saturday night.

This will be a blue helmet over a white jersey with blue numbers on top of blue pants, as depicted in a hype video posted by the program.

While the Week 3 game between the Mountaineers and Cavaliers is at a neutral site location in Charlotte, N.C., a place with a significant WVU alumni base, the Cavaliers are still favored by as much as 10 points in major sportsbooks.

Entering the game at 2-0, WVU’s first such start to a season since 2018, the Mountaineers will face their biggest test yet against Virginia. But up until this point, Rich Rodriguez has a 31-24 win over Coastal Carolina in the season opener and a dominating 52-7 victory over UT Martin.

The constant banter about John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” song and the legitimacy about it being adopted by the West Virginia Mountaineers adds extra intrigue to the premiere Big 12 vs. ACC game as well.

Kickoff from Bank of America Stadium is set for 7:30 pm ET on Saturday, Sept. 19.
