my old clothes: tarheels edition: part 2

when last we left, i’d shown 5 of my favorite vintage unc t-shirts.

here are 5 more favorites – all basketball-related. 

soft, thin, and true. carolina basketball is a perennial power.

looks pretty basic here – carolina basketball school – vintage t-shirt from the summer camp:

but it’s a champion blue bar tag, dating it to the mid 70s. sweet!

here’s another of the softest silkiest t-shirts i own. love the repeated graphics and the hair on the player. michael jordan era – ncaa champions 1982.

this must be one of the most obscure carolina basketball t-shirts ever made. gastonia, NC – city of the all-americans – russell athletic from the late 70’s. honoring james worthy (UNC) and sleepy floyd (georgetown) – who both grew up in gastonia.

last but not least, coach k drinks winecoolers. this is not as old as the others, probably only 15 years or so, but it makes me laugh every time.

you know he does! 

although the tarheels did not advance past the sweet sixteen this year, it was a great season, and we can all still find pleasure in the remaining games by rooting against duke.
