One of the best dressed team's in college sports stays that way. UNC embraces a balance of tradition and modern simplicity across all sports. Football keeps its classic Carolina Blue and white helmets with argyle stripes on the arms and pants, while the navy alternate introduces a reduced stripe. Hockey mirrors this with argyle on the sleeves, hem, and collar, and uses navy or Carolina Blue pants and helmets, while the alternate simplifies the design with a script "Tar Heels" on the chest. Baseball maintains the argyle motif, outlines the wordmarks, and includes "Tar Heels" in script on the home uniform, with an alternate navy design. Basketball incorporates argyle on the sides of the jerseys and shorts, with a contrasting waistband and "UNC" on the chest for the navy alternates.
