Zubaz Gameday Guide
What to Wear to a West Virginia Mountaineers Game
Milan Puskar Stadium sits in the mountains, and by November Morgantown football is played in real cold — with Country Roads sung loud enough to warm the place up. Here's how Mountaineers fans dress for gameday, in old gold and blue, layered for the hills.
This guide covers the full West Virginia Mountaineers gameday uniform — what to wear to the stadium, what actually works in the Morgantown weather, and what to pack for the tailgate. Every piece below is officially licensed West Virginia Mountaineers gear, ships free in the lower 48, and is loud enough that your section will know whose side you're on.
Start with the pants. Always the pants.
Since 1988, Zubaz pants have been the gameday uniform for fans who show up loud. The West Virginia Mountaineers zebra print is instantly recognizable across a parking lot, roomy enough to layer over thermals, and comfortable enough to wear from the 8 AM tailgate through the postgame traffic. If you only upgrade one piece of your gameday fit, this is it.
Dressing for the weather at Milan Puskar Stadium
Morgantown football means real weather. September games are pleasant, but by November you're dressing for wind, cold and the occasional snow game — and the fans who stay comfortable to the final whistle are the ones who layered right. The formula: thermals or leggings under your Zubaz pants, a t-shirt base, a hoodie or fleece over it, and a knit hat, gloves and scarf for anything below freezing. Bleacher seats steal body heat, so a team blanket earns its spot in the bag for late-season games.

The tailgate checklist
- The uniform: West Virginia Mountaineers Zubaz pants + team top. Non-negotiable.
- Weather insurance: thermals, knit hat, gloves and a team blanket for anything past Halloween.
- Comfortable shoes: you'll be standing 6+ hours between lot and seats.
- Small clear bag: most college stadiums enforce a clear-bag policy — leave the backpack at the tailgate.
- Portable charger: mobile tickets die with your battery.
- Layers for the ride home: night games end colder than they start.
- The dog: if your four-legged fan is tailgating, get them a West Virginia Mountaineers jersey or bandana. Instant lot celebrity.
Gameday FAQ
What do fans wear to a West Virginia Mountaineers game?
Team colors, head to toe. The classic West Virginia Mountaineers fan uniform is a jersey or team t-shirt up top and Zubaz zebra-print pants below — the look that's been in NFL parking lots since 1988. For late-season games in Morgantown, fans layer thermals underneath and add a knit hat, gloves and scarf.
Is it cold at Milan Puskar Stadium?
It can be seriously cold. Morgantown games from November on regularly hit freezing or below, with wind making it feel colder in the stands. Layer under your Zubaz pants, cover your head and hands, and bring a blanket for December games.
What is the bag policy at college stadiums?
Most college stadiums enforce a clear-bag policy: bags typically must be clear plastic no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a small clutch. Backpacks and large purses aren't allowed inside, so leave them at the tailgate or in the car.
Are Zubaz West Virginia Mountaineers products officially licensed?
Yes — Zubaz is an official NCAA licensee, and every West Virginia Mountaineers item we make is authentic licensed gear in true team colors. Shipping is free on every order in the 48 contiguous United States.
