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:

— Jason Freeman (@UNCEquipment) September 4, 2014 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.
