- Soft fan-version knit, gentler than the on-field fabric
Why this North Carolina Tar Heels tier is the usual pick
Between the North Carolina Tar Heels supporter cut and the player-issue cut there is a large price gap and a small visual one.
Room to grow into
The body and sleeve are cut with a season of growth in mind, so the North Carolina Tar Heels shirt bought in September still fits in spring.
Built around the football calendar
For the North Carolina Tar Heels build, pre-season, conference play, the bowl game - this is the shirt worn across the whole run.
The honest difference between the builds
- The North Carolina Tar Heels design does not change between tiers - colours and crest are fixed.
- What changes is fabric weight, grading and how the trim is fixed on.
- This listing is the wear-it-every-week end of that range.
The tier, the fit and what you get
The tier on this listing is the fan version one. Read that as a statement about fabric and grading, not about the design - the colours and crest are the same across the range.
Sizing runs true to a standard athletic cut for young fans. If you are between sizes, or you want room for layering, take the next size up.
