Used to be 2 combos from 1980-2000

Gold pants
Blue jerseys

Gold pants
White jerseys

Blue helmet with both.

Then it went fashion crazy.

I was under the impression that the unis were going to be throwback.

"The West Virginia Mountaineers will don their traditional road uniforms this week for their game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The helmets will be blue, the uniforms will be white and the pants will be gold.

It’s an old school look for the Mountaineers who are looking for their first 7-0 start since 2006."

Oh!? Now THAT would be cool to see! But I think what they mean by traditional was what we normally wear in the new uniform setups

The wording in that article may be poor and you may be correct; it's simply the color scheme and not the "traditional" or "old school" or throwback uniforms. I'm sure someone on here has better insight and knows.
 
Some of the WV Football FB pages are now saying that they are actually going to have the Nehlen era away jersey's solely for the OSU game...

Meaning
Blue helmets
White Jersey's with the flying WV on the sleeves and block numbers
Gold pants with the two blue stripes most of us remember from watching games during the 80's.

Who really knows whether or not they do the traditional modernized uni combo with that, or actually pull a retro look.

Personally, I am missing the retro look even more with each passing season.
