For the first time in several years, the West Virginia Mountaineers will don a set of throwback uniforms, paying homage to one of the most legendary figures in basketball history—Jerry West. The uniforms are a near replica of what Jerry West proudly wore during his college career from 1958-1960. Featuring retro designs reminiscent of a golden era in West Virginia basketball, the jerseys and shorts bring back memories of the Chelyan, WV native's incredible legacy.
West’s accomplishments extended far beyond his college years. Selected as the second overall pick in the 1960 NBA Draft by the Minneapolis Lakers, West carved out a legendary 14-year professional career.
As the Mountaineers step onto the court Saturday, it won’t just be about the game—it’ll be about remembering and celebrating the man who elevated West Virginia basketball to national prominence and went on to define excellence in the sport worldwide.
