North Carolina Tar Heel
Championship Seasons in
Review
1957 National Champs:  Head coach Frank
McGuire led UNC to its first NCAA
Tournament Title with a win against the Wilt
Chamberlin led Kansas Jayhawks.  Lennie
Rosenbluth was the star of the 1957
squad. His 27 points and 8.6 rebounds a
game in regular season play led the Tar
Heels to the ACC championship and
beyond.
1982 National Champs:  Michael Jordan,
Sam Perkins and James Worthy led the
way for the Tar Heels championship run in
1992.  Freshman Michael Jordan hit the
winning jumper against Georgetown in the
championship game as UNC won 63 to 62.
 UNC began and finished the year ranked
No. 1 in the country in the Associated Press
poll. In fact, Carolina held the No. 1 ranking
for all but five weeks in 1981-82. The Tar
Heels posted a 32-2 record.  North
Carolina's only losses were to Wake Forest
at home when and at Virginia.
1993 National Champs: The Tar Heels
finished the season 34-4, winning 18
consecutive games at one point. UNC
defeated Michigan for the national title by a
77 to 71 score in what will always be
remembered for Michigan's Chris Weber
inopportune time out.  The victory was
Coach Dean Smith's 2nd national
championship and also avenged a loss to
the Wolverines earlier in the season.
Leading the charge for North Carolina was
Center Eric Montross and senior forward
George Lynch on the inside and shooting
guard Donald Williams provided the spark
from the outside.
2005 National Champs:  UNC went 33-4
under the direction of Tar Heel 2nd year
coach Roy Williams.  Although, North
Carolina had a dominating season
throughout,  the season began with an
upset loss to Santa Clara.  UNC would
rebound by winning the ACC before
defeating  No. 1 ranked Illinois for the
national title.  North Carolina was led by
seniors Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel
and Melvin Scott.  UNC led the country in
scoring and assists and held the
opposition to 40 percent shooting.
The Traditions of North Carolina Tar Heel Blue Basketball Jerseys
According to the University of North Carolina's official website, here's how the famous colors
of North Carolina's basketball uniforms originated.

Origin of the University Colors

As symbols of unity among Carolina students, alumni, and fans, the school colors of light
blue and white were first used around 1800 to distinguish between members of the Dialectic
and Philanthropic Literary Societies. Throughout the nineteenth century, students were
required to be members of either the Di or the Phi. The Di's color was light blue, and the Phi's
was white.

At University commencements, balls, and other social events, the student officials,
managers, and marshals wore the color of their society, blue or white. Because the Chief
Marshal or Chief Ball Manager represented the whole student body, not just his society, he
wore both colors.

When the University fielded its first intercollegiate athletic teams in 1888, the question of what
colors to wear had already been answered. Light blue and white had come to symbolize
membership in the University, not in a single society.

Light blue and white have been considered the University's colors for more than a century.
With the tradition so firmly established, a popular bumper sticker states that God must be a
Tar Heel because he made the sky Carolina Blue!
North Carolina's Brightest Star
Michael Jordan:  While wearing North
Carolina jersey No. 23 as a freshman, Jordan
played an instrumental role in helping UNC to
capture the 1982 championship.  Jordan went
on to win multiple NBA championships while
gaining legendary status as perhaps the best
ever to play the game.
