The UNC uniforms are getting some love.

Paul Lukas of Uni Watch ranked each of the sweet 16 teams by uniform for ESPN . The Tar Heels’ home whites landed on top of the list.
Lukas describes his love of Carolina’s uniforms:
“As good as it gets, right? The Carolina blue, the school name framing the chest number, the argyle trim on the sides — that’s how it’s done.”
Lukas clearly likes the simplicity of the uniforms from traditional powers. No. 2 on his list is the Kansas Jayhawks uniform. The Indiana Hoosiers’ uniform grabs the third spot. The uniform watcher does not care for “new school” looks. Oregon landed at No 13. The Texas A&M uniform is on the bottom of list.
Carolina’s “old school” uniform and Oregon’s “new school” uniform is Lukas’ pick for the title game. It would be the “perfect matchup of old-school and new-school uniform styles.”
The Tar Heels take on the Indiana Hoosiers in Friday’s Sweet 16 game. Tip off is shortly before 10 PM .
The UNC uniforms were designed by Alexander Julian. Those linking diamonds have been featured on Carolina basketball jerseys since the 1991-1992 season. More recently, the design started to show up on other Tar Heel uniforms.
