Youth #1 North Carolina Tar Heels Football 2026 Alternate Game Day Jersey - Navy
One line: the North Carolina Tar Heels Alternate colourway, game day cut, made for young supporters, 2026.
The highlights
- Fabric weight that holds its shape after a full season of washes
- Stitched crest and trim detailing throughout
Built for kick-off
In the North Carolina Tar Heels cut, game Day sits between the everyday fan cut and the on-field shirt: a performance-weight knit, a closer athletic shape, and trim finished to hold up under floodlights as well as in the washing machine.
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.
What the football knit has to survive
For the North Carolina Tar Heels build, tailgate food, a crowded concourse and a wash every Monday.
Version and sizing, plainly
Here is the honest positioning: this is the game day build. Supporter-facing fabric and fit, identical team colours and badge detail, and a price that reflects what it is for - standing in the stands.
There is no vanity sizing on this North Carolina Tar Heels build, so the letter on the label is the letter on the chart.
