Last week we called your attention to a series of photographs of NC State’s new men’s basketball uniforms that we encourage you to click here to see.
[See the full post at: Black Wolfpack basketball uniforms]We’re the Red, White and Black from NC State.
And if these colors don’t work, tomorrow we may be the Scarlet, Cream and Brown from NC State.
And if THOSE colors don’t work, then the day after tomorrow we may be the Green, Purple and Gray from NC State.
Seriously……………
I’m only surprised by the fact that it took 6 1/2 hours.
As black unis go they look perfectly fine to me. I’m Switzerland on this issue these days…don’t really care, and know that the whole alternate unis thing is not a fad that is soon to end.
Frankly, I’m more troubled by “NC” being back on the jerseys, but that’s my own demon I’ve been trying to exorcise since the mid 80s, and it’s not worth bitching about either.
I like them. Always have, always will. Plenty of corporations and educational institutions, including State, have primary color palettes – red, white AND black for State – as well as accent color palettes.

It’s 2014, things change. That said, I’m with Wufpacker, I prefer just STATE on the front.
To be politically correct…
Should not the title of this topic be….
Wolfpack black basketball uniforms…
Or
Wolfpack basketball – black uniforms…Just saying…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I’ve been a State fan for about 70 of my 77 years and I’ve been a loud voice for being State. Not going to happen. I’m trying to understand the reason administration has for our being known as NC State. In an effort to have this “branding” happen, they made decision to have State replaced by NC State on our athletic uniforms to forward the brand. I suppose we each could repeatedly express our displeasure at every opportunity but what would that do except create a divisive atmosphere at a time where unity is wanted and needed.
Dr. Woodson is leading North Carolina State University into a world of leadership and recognition not previously known here. While I don’t like NC State in lieu of State, I’m aligning with the brand, NC State.
That’s the most serious sh*t I’ve ever posted on SFN.
Many of us don’t like the use of an alternate uni but today alternate uni’s are a fact of life in athletic wear. I don’t want the Pack to wear it as often as our ice hockey friends, The Canes do, but for football I can stand 2 out of 12 times. At home 2 of those cool black alternate uni’s and the remainder with red jerseys mixed with red pants or white pants. Away games wear white jerseys with white or red pants. Maybe we can find an opponent that wants to do a ‘white out’ and wear our alternate black. A similar alternate arrangement for basketball and other sports would work. But most of all let’s win big enough and often enough that we become adidas’s model for their sports wear. I wouldn’t mind being for “adidas” in the east like Oregon is for Nike in the west.
At least we don’t have to come up with alternate shades of red like the holes have to do to hide handicap blue that is their primary color.
Go Pack!
And if these colors don’t work, tomorrow we may be the Scarlet, Cream and Brown from NC State.
Brown was the official NC State sports teams color before red.
Wolfpack at home. NC State on the road…For all sports.
Mr. DOG, I like the thought and when we play on national TV — and we will — I’m afraid we will have to have NC State on the uni.
