Inspired by one of the most celebrated moments in UNC basketball history, the Nike Hyper Elite Dominance uniform pays tribute to the 1982 NCAA championship game when Michael Jordan hit a jumper from the wing with only 17 seconds remaining to put UNC on top 63-62, sealing the championship. The uniform features the iconic Tar Heel logo and color-blocking worn by the 1982 team. (Nike)
