Football team uses new uniforms to draw recruits

Posted Oct 16, 2013
Thursday night’s nationally televised game will mark the first time a Tar Heel squad has taken the field in all-black gear, and the game has implications for UNC’s present and future. Coach Larry Fedora understands that uniforms aren’t the only way to court recruits, but he’s looking for any advantage he can get. “It may help on only one kid,” Fedora said. “If it helps on one kid, then I’m all for it."
