The 2005 and 2009 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball National
Champion University of North Carolina Tar Heels will be bringing much the same
team to the hardwoods on Friday when they hit the court for Late Night With
Roy, but they will be donning new threads.
So far, the fan base has been underwhelmed…
While the front of the new jerseys - which were worn
during yesterday's media day - are pretty much the same, the back will
feature an aerographic design incorporating the Old Well, the outline of the
state of North Carolina and a basketball, according to the school's website,
tarheelblue.com.
The style should be familiar to ACC fans, and, subsequently,
unpopular with UNC fans…In 2009, Duke started wearing Nike's aerographic
design as an alternate road uniform. The Blue Devils’ uni features the gothic
architecture of their Durham campus embedded on the back of their jerseys. Texas and Kentucky also wear similar
uniforms and neither team is particularly popular in Chapel Hill.
Needless, to say folks have opinions. To get some from The Dagger, click
