Letter: A Tar Heel lament

Posted on November 19, 2009 by Staff

Someone I know works for the University of North Carolina. How can I ever convince myself to forgive him for permitting a designer to put red on a UNC basketball uniform?

Am I wrong to feel that doing so is being disrespectful to all students and all Tar Heel athletes who came prior to 2009?

Are there others who feel as I do?

    I might be wrong here, but I think the red stripe is up there because the jerseys are a throwback to the 1957 ones. UNC is celebrating its 100th year by donning the jerseys of each of its championship teams across the season, I believe. Didn’t the ’57 jersey have a red stripe?
