North Carolina to wear American flag helmets for Military Appreciation Day

In honor of North Carolina celebrating Military Appreciation Day against Idaho this weekend, the Tar Heels are wearing special helmets.

The helmets are North Carolina blue, but the interlocking NC logo is the American flag. Definitely one of the better looking military tribute helmets we've seen so far this year and a lot more creative than the standard camouflage.

"We thought one of the ways we would honor them is by wearing the flag on the interlocking N.C. that's never been done before here at Carolina," coach Larry Fedora said. "We're excited about doing that and hopefully we'll be able to honor them also with the way we play the game."

North Carolina is the latest ACC team to recognize the military this season. Virginia Tech wore special camouflage uniforms against Bowling Green last week. UNC also plans to have a flyover and Golden Knights parachute onto the field prior to the game.

      Not a Tarheel fan, but surely am a fan of the USA! What a beautiful helmet....would be a great collectors item.
    • Kevin  •  1 month 15 days ago
      wow those look nice
    • hidden  •  1 month 14 days ago
      only libretards, obawma, and democraps would find something wrong with honoring our brave young men & women in uniform ... SHAME ON YOU! HooRahhh to NC!
    • Dale  •  1 month 14 days ago
      I just might become a Tarheel fan over this. Thank you UNC for making a statement supporting those that fight to give you the freedom to make statements.
    • creditcollector  •  1 month 14 days ago
      Some pos will file a lawsuit over this.
    • Winged Avenger  •  1 month 14 days ago
      Arent they worried the ACLU will sue because some muslim might be offended?
    • hidden  •  1 month 14 days ago
      i'm surprised obummer and holder haven't outlawed it yet! but approved of 'black panther' day at grambling's next homeboy game!!!
    • Happy Horse  •  1 month 15 days ago
      I like it!
    • brian g  •  1 month 14 days ago
      Why would we want that shady program saluting the USA. What's next, Calipari and Kentucky sporting red, white and blue on Washington's birthday.

      How about we have a program that we respect do something like this
    • harley5571  •  1 month 14 days ago
      Should have gave one to the Romney..Maybe he would have been reminded to mention the troops and vets who fought and died for him to be wealthy!!! What a disgrace Romney is.
    • John D  •  1 month 14 days ago
      I agree with Dale THANK YOU UNC
    • Sam  •  1 month 14 days ago
      abc CBS ESPN won't show the helmets shots the mojor networks don't want to offend the Muslim Americans here IN THE U.S.taking over this once beautiful country. oBAMA DOESN'T RESPECT OR FLAG EITHER. Our muslim president
    • Caesar Antonivs  •  1 month 15 days ago
      Soooo, how does an American flag symbolize the US military? :-/ If anything, it's giving a shout out to Betsy Ross. But it's certainly not (by itself) suggesting any sort of thanks or appreciation for the military.
    • PACK FAN 4 LIFE  •  1 month 14 days ago
      In no way shape or form a UNC fan, but I am an American Veteran from NC...and I would like to say that I do like those helmets. They look sharp!!
    • Max  •  1 month 14 days ago
      lock up your daughters....once the game is over, the players will be out looking for some "live action!" and then they'll quit honoring everything, including DUI laws, your daughters, etc. bah...bunch of crapola this is. We have Veterans day...we don't need every major holiday or sports venue to have a flyover. soon baby jesus will be jumping out of a plane into Joel Olsteens stadium to celebrate xmas! enough!!!!!!!!
    • Max  •  1 month 14 days ago
      get your GD religion OUT of the schools...and get your GD murderous thugs OUT of my sports teams (grade school thru college).....and that includes OFF the campus' where you prey/recruit young men and women who have much better things to do than sign their lives over to a contract of death. unbelievable!
