Paying homage to the original Moonshiners jerseys designed in 2018, our midnight-black jerseys with white piping feature the Moonshiners logo script in copper and our signature moonshine-running coupe bursting onto the scene.

The logo scheme [shows] the method West Virginians traditionally used to produce the popular beverage as well as the methods they used to transport the moonshine throughout the mountainous regions. ...The copper signifies the color of the stills that were used during the production of moonshine. The black signifies the color of the cars that were used to transport the beverage during the prohibition era.

Game-worn Moonshiners jerseys will be auctioned off during the game on Labor Day, Monday, September 1. All proceeds from the auction will benefit WVU Medicine Children's Hospital. Information on the jersey auction will be released during the season.
