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.
