The Duke grounds crew stepped up its game for North Carolina week.
Ahead of the Blue Devils’ Saturday game against the Tar Heels, the field staff posted a photo of Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium on Thursday. The picture showed off their new end zone design featuring a white devil logo on either side of the school name.
The end zones themselves looked like they did against Elon and Connecticut in the first two home games of the year, blue grass with the word ‘Duke’ written in white. The school’s signature script ‘D’ looms large at midfield as always.
The Blue Devils have used their rivalry match with North Carolina to show off some new swag over the past few years. The team wore black helmets and pants in Chapel Hill last year, a 47-45 double-overtime thriller, and an all-black outfit with blue accents the last time UNC came to Wallace Wade Stadium in 2022.
That trend might continue with the athletic department debuting ‘Durham Camo’ on Wednesday, a new design meant to pay homage to the school’s signature stone colors. The team will wear the new merchandise before Saturday’s game, but their uniforms have not been revealed yet.
