North Carolina has declared a “stripe out” for Saturday’s home game against San Diego State. The game will kick off at 8 p.m. ET and fans in alternating sections of Kenan Stadium will wear Carolina blue and black to create the “stripes.”
Here’s what that will look like:
To keep up with the stripe out theme, the UNC grounds crew went all out. Does this look great, or what?
Everything from the midfield logo to the ACC logo to the sidelines have been given the black, white and blue treatment.
And to top it all off, the team will go with its black and blue uniforms.
North Carolina held a similar themed night game in a 27-23 loss to Miami last season. It was billed “Zero Dark Thursday,” and the team wore the same jerseys, but went with black pants and black helmets with blue stripes instead of this year’s blue pants and helmets with the black stripe.
The Tar Heels are hoping for a better result this season.
"I'm pretty excited, I hope we bring the fire back," senior safety Tim Scott said. "At the start of the Miami game, hearing the crowd cheer and all that, that's what we're expecting on Saturday. It was probably the loudest game I've played at Kenan, and we're really looking forward to (this year)."
After a sluggish start, UNC opened its season with a 56-29 win over Liberty last weekend. The Heels pulled away with four touchdowns in a four minute span in the third quarter.
