Eschewing a black alternate that has been common for the team for about 10 years, this time the Wildcats lined up a new, bolder purple look with the classic “Go W” logo on the chest.

WSU debuted the new jersey to open the season, wearing it in each of the three road games at Utah, Utah State and UC Irvine. The Go W — created by Bob Hunter, a WSU student who later became director of the Olene S. Walker Institute of Politics and Public Service, and CEO of United Way of Northern Utah — was used prominently in the 1980s and early ’90s by the football team, best implemented as a football helmet logo that Weber State has since brought back for occasional use in the last eight years.

But this seems to be the first time a basketball team has featured the Go W logo as a primary, featured mark on a uniform. These jerseys set the W-with-arrow-tail emblem atop a simple mountain-scape outline in the center of the chest.

Because of the bold move, I sought feedback from followers and others in a poll on social media site X. From my @WeberHQ account, I posted a photo of WSU guard Tijan Saine Jr. wearing the new threads and asked people to participate in a poll to grade them A through D (the site only allows four options per poll).

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

Of 120 responses, most followers chose an A grade and 82.5% selected either A or B.

Expressed as a GPA using each vote like a grade, the uniforms received a 3.35 GPA.

Below is a chart showing the results.
