The Duke Blue Devils revealed their football uniforms for this weekend’s game against the North Carolina Tar Heels on Thursday night, and the combination shouldn’t surprise anyone who watched the last two years of the rivalry.
The Blue Devils opted for the all-black outfit against UNC, matching their helmets, jerseys, and pants the same way they did when the Tar Heels came to town in 2022.
Duke didn’t wear all-black in Chapel Hill last season, but the Blue Devils did sport black helmets and pants for the road trip. As the road team, Duke wore white jerseys.
North Carolina has won every matchup between the two schools since head coach Mack Brown’s first season in 2019, but 2024 offers promise for a reversal. First-year Duke head coach [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag] worked for Brown with the Texas Longhorns a decade ago, and the Blue Devils are off to a 4-0 start for the second straight season.
The Tar Heels, on the other hand, allowed 70 points to James Madison in a stunning upset last Saturday.
