MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics will conduct its first Mountaineer Gear sale on Friday, April 29, from 2 to 6 p.m., in the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility.

Authentic Mountaineer football gear from the past decade will be on sale to the general public, as part of the festivities surrounding the Gold-Blue spring football game.

Items for sale include limited quantities of the full Nike Combat uniform worn by the Mountaineers for two games during the 2010 season, as well as individual sales of the combat uniform to include helmets, pants, t-shirts and shoes.

In addition to the Nike Combat uniforms, the sale also will feature authentic Mountaineer football gear such as hats, visors, sweatshirts, sideline coaches shirts, jackets, past game jerseys and pants, shoes and cleats, travel bags, bowl shirts and jackets, as well as former pictures and displays from the Puskar Center.

Fans can purchase items by using Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express or cash. No checks will be accepted; prices are non-negotiable and include state sales tax. All sales from the event are final.

“Our fans see a great value in obtaining our older gear, and we are running out of storage space,” WVU Associate Athletic Director Michael Szul says. “The sale will provide additional revenue to our department, and will be a great opportunity for Mountaineer football fans to purchase authentic game pants, jerseys, polos and jackets, while adding to the already full day of activities surrounding the Gold-Blue game.”

Concessions will be sold for the event, but no food or drink will be permitted in the Caperton facility. A concert by the Davisson Brothers Band at 5:30 p.m., along with an Old Timers game at 7 p.m. with former coaches Jim Carlen, Bobby Bowden, Frank Cignetti and Don Nehlen highlight the activities at the stadium.

The four coaches will also participate in a special roundtable discussion at 4 p.m. at the Waterfront Place Hotel and tickets can be purchased to that session for $100 by calling the Mountaineer Athletic Club at 1-800-433-2072.

Tickets for the spring game are $10 and can be purchased in advance at WVUGAME.com or by calling the Mountaineer Ticket Office at 1-800-WVU GAME. Tickets will also be available at the gate on game day.
