Alexander Julian still remembers when legendary coach Dean Smith called him to revamp the North Carolina jerseys. The result: argyle print.
The Athletic has live coverage of the matchups. Michael Jordan once expressed his love for an argyle pattern. Inevitably, the North Carolina Tar Heels would wear that argyle pattern on the basketball court. It was far from a Jordan-only decision, but more than 30 years ago, the uniform design thoughts of a university icon who became one of basketball’s all-time greatest players — — played a factor.
“We were trying to get black uniforms,” said longtime NBA forward George Lynch, who also was a standout on that 1991-92 team. “They wouldn’t do black for us.” Lynch said at the time, he wasn’t familiar with Julian or the designing process. The team knew it would have new uniforms, but players weren’t sure how they’d look. New uniforms could have meant something as simple as subtle changes to the lettering or numbers.
