Official Homecoming T-shirt

It’s Carolina vs. Duke, the Greatest Rivalry on Earth, and we have the official Homecoming T-shirt to celebrate it. T-shirts are available in short sleeved ($25) and long sleeved ($30) in sizes S-5XL with free shipping. T-shirts are white with the Greatest Rivalry on Earth artwork on front, Carolina Alumni logo on sleeve and Carolina Homecoming logo on back, under collar. T-shirts are adult / unisex / cotton. Order by Oct. 1, and your shirt will be shipped to arrive by Nov. 11. T-shirts ordered after Oct. 1 cannot be guaranteed by game day.

While both T-shirts and Bell Tower Tailgate tickets are on the same registration form, you can order a Homecoming T-shirt only on the registration form without purchasing a Bell Tower Tailgate ticket. Purchase your T-shirt today. There will be a $5 processing fee included with all orders.
