Why supporters pick the North Carolina Tar Heels fan version
The North Carolina Tar Heels fan version is the supporter-facing cut: the same colours and crest as the on-field design, with a softer fabric, a more forgiving fit and a much friendlier price.
Graded down, not scaled down
In the North Carolina Tar Heels cut, scaling an adult block by a percentage gives a child a shirt with the wrong sleeve and a collar that gapes.
Indoors, most of the time
Basketball is played inside, so the North Carolina Tar Heels shirt is built for a controlled temperature - lighter than the gridiron knit, and layered only on the way to the game.
Where this sits in the range
- This rung: the everyday shirt, priced to be worn.
- Above it: closer cut, denser knit, stitched detailing.
- Below it: nothing - this is the entry to the North Carolina Tar Heels range.
Version, sizing and what you are buying
Expect a fan version build here - supporter-facing fabric, the same team colours and badge detail, and none of the stiffness that comes with a closer athletic cut.
Fit is standard for young fans - no vanity sizing and no need to size down. Measure the chest if you are unsure.
