EL PASO – UTEP is giving a nod to the vintage Texas Western era on Saturday, when the Miners will wear throwback uniforms (orange helmet, orange jerseys with white numbers, white pants) in their home game against 2-1 New Mexico.
“We’re really excited about the Texas Western uniforms that we’re going to be able to wear and pay tribute to some of the very good Miner football teams in the past,” UTEP coach Dana Dimel said. “I think they’re really a cool model of uniform that we showed to the players. I know they are excited about it.
