  "account": "North Carolina Tar Heels football team will utilize a throwback logo at the midfield during their upcoming game against East Tennessee State on September 12th. This comes after a successful Week 0 win over TCU in Ireland, which provided the team with a week off due to travel. UNC is expected to start the year with a 2-0 record. Director of Athletic Grounds & Turf Management Ryan Anderson shared the new midfield logo on X, which is a nod to the 1980s era: \"Let’s throw it back for year 100 at Kenan Stadium @UNCFootball @Tar_Heels_Turf #GoHeels\". While the Tar Heels did not wear the 1980s uniforms last season, they had previously ordered them for the current era. With the program marking 100 years of Kenan Memorial Stadium, the throwback uniforms may make an appearance sooner rather than later, perhaps even by Week 2.
