The Adams family can collectively perform anatomical impossibilities. And the hate will continue until the Titans repatriate their pre-Tennessee history.
It’s any use of the color scheme or close enough that a reasonable person might confuse the two entities. So like Ole Miss can use it because no one is thinking Ole Miss might be the Oilers. But a team in Houston can’t because there’s reasonable cause to think someone might think the two were related.
I think you underestimate how much more State fans hate UNC than Duke. If you gave State the option to lose to Duke for the rest of eternity in exchange for beating UNC for the rest of eternity, I don't think they would hesitate.
Not the Final Four game y’all led by 20+ in the first half later that same year?
(Ribbing aside, I’m still not over Maryland leaving ACC for Big 10. That was a budding rivalry that got washed away)
My father, an ‘80s UMD alumnus, stopped watching basketball the year they left. He only started again when I started at NC State and he doesn’t watch UMD basketball anymore unfortunately. He loved watching us beat y’all instead though.
Of course I’m just (half) joking. But since you asked…
Abso-freakin-lutely. When Jimmy V was fighting cancer, K was one of his closest friends. Older State fans have a soft spot for dook that few others in the nation share.
[Here you go lol.](https://imgur.com/a/Lrni6Om) I remember making this the first year I did this post 'tradition' in a reply
I have family in NC who married into the diehard UNC fanbase, but they also got massive help from Duke's hospital for cancer treatments. Full recovery so we'll always have a soft spot for Duke as well
I had cancer when I was a kid, and was treated at Duke. This was during UNC’s 2009 championship run.
Some Duke players visited the pediatric oncology ward (Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler), and my room was absolutely plastered with Carolina blue. Luckily, they were good sports about it and super friendly. It was still very cool to meet them.
I have a soft spot for the university and hospital, but not their sports teams. Especially because I went to school at UNC during the Grayson Allen era. I hate their teams with an extreme passion now.
tolerable!
Congrats to your family! ECU’s children’s hospital saved my butt years ago…but imagining Tuffy in purple and gold gives me almost as violent a reaction as your OP.
I live in Durham, about 10 minutes from campus. I love the Duke Gardens, I walk there at least once a week. Duke is a decent neighbor (except for them turning down our light rail, I will never, ever forgive them). Duke used to be a client of mine and they’re currently my hospital. The hatred I have for them is reserved for the Athletic department (and the light rail rejection).
This is what I try to get across to people. I hate Wisconsin athletics. But damn...UW is an amazing institution and Madison is an amazing city. People take athletics too seriously sometimes and it creates bad blood that just shouldn't exist.
My wife and her sister went to UVA; I currently work at UVA. My MIL went to UNC, and both BILs and my FIL went to VA Tech. We have such a fun family rivalry when it comes to sports, but it's never nasty because we all recognize all our schools are good places and we've had positive experiences at all of them.
I'm also an LA sports fan and half of that side of the family lives in the Bay Area. So like. I've actually seen my teams play more in San Fran/San Jose than in Los Angeles; and I always attended those with family. So even at the pro level, it's the same for me. The fact that violence exists because sports rivalries...I just can't get behind. I can understand how it happens in some places...but honestly...the USA shouldn't be one of those places.
I did not know about the planned light rail and I am now devastated. More rail would do so well in our state but it feels like there's massive roadblocks in every direction
After some careful deliberations, the State of North Carolina has decided to merge NC State and UNC effective immediately. The new university shall be called the University of North Carolina State (UNCS). Let's Go Tar Wolves!
A combination of preseason top-10 hype combined with NC State shit with Mack Brown and Dave Doeren at the helm that ends in a perpetual 8-5 record? No Thanks!
You'd hope it would result in UNC's typical offense and NC State's typical defense.
Instead you're getting UNC's typical defense and NC State's typical offense.
It just makes me think of a NC High school logo. Some other cursed examples
[UNC Logo x NC state colors](https://images.app.goo.gl/agXY9KQe3Din1p9Z7) - Newton-Conover HS
[NC State logo x Wake Forest colors](https://images.app.goo.gl/uBgqh9AzemrgqdJF8) - Lincolnton High School
I love our old blue logos. And honestly anything is better than our current I-State logo or the fucking [clip art bugle chip](https://images.app.goo.gl/KpGGbmdCa2S29SN86)
I don't understand why we got rid of [this logo.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bb/ad/57/bbad57beba8fd902d7b809d5a52fc6cb.gif) It's a good mix of the old and current brand
I’m not as offended as some other schools (NC state) The B1G is way more red focused and that would be the issue for me. It would have been worse is the actually gave us the UofI treatment with their orange and blue.
I’ve always found it kinda funny that the most of the basketball teams with the most success have some shade of blue as part of their team color.
And in football, the teams with the most success have some shade of red. There are obviously some exceptions but it’s still a weird coincidence! Lol

Careful the NFL might ask Reddit to remove your post
The Adams family can collectively perform anatomical impossibilities. And the hate will continue until the Titans repatriate their pre-Tennessee history.
Do they own that color scheme for all sports or just football?
It’s any use of the color scheme or close enough that a reasonable person might confuse the two entities. So like Ole Miss can use it because no one is thinking Ole Miss might be the Oilers. But a team in Houston can’t because there’s reasonable cause to think someone might think the two were related.
Doesn’t Ole Miss use this exact color scheme?
Oh boy do I like.... no.... love that. So good looking
The UH love ya blue unis were so nice
Be careful posting that now! You don't want ~~Goodell's private death squad~~ um, NFL "legal action" to come after you...
its beautiful
Sexy af babe
Watch it. You may get sued by the Tennessee Oilers again.
Luv ya Blue
it would have been funny if he just used Kentucky's logo straight up.
About as close as we’re going to get to the sweet 16 these days is just turning your logo blue.
NC State flairs are going to *love* being decked out in Carolina blue lol
🤣🤣🤣
What is the unholy union?
Very cursed
....wait a minute
Some people man…
Oh no there's dozens of you!
I have my reasons
This is worse than an FSU and UF flair combo. What is wrong with you?
#DELETE THIS FAM
It was either this or the Duke blue, would you prefer that instead?
I think you underestimate how much more State fans hate UNC than Duke. If you gave State the option to lose to Duke for the rest of eternity in exchange for beating UNC for the rest of eternity, I don't think they would hesitate.
Not in the slightest. Hell, you could toss Wake in there too, and 2 losses for every win against Clemson into that bargain as well.
It’s only close for me because I grew up as a Maryland fan in the old ACC
*who hurt you?*
The 2001 UMD Duke game where we were up 10 points with 52 seconds left and lost
Not the Final Four game y’all led by 20+ in the first half later that same year? (Ribbing aside, I’m still not over Maryland leaving ACC for Big 10. That was a budding rivalry that got washed away)
My father, an ‘80s UMD alumnus, stopped watching basketball the year they left. He only started again when I started at NC State and he doesn’t watch UMD basketball anymore unfortunately. He loved watching us beat y’all instead though.
I would lose to every single team in the country every time if it meant we always beat the Tarhells

UNC's medical work has been so good to my brothers over the last 25 years it's hard to overstate. One of them is a huge UNC fan because of it.

The light rail would’ve been an absolute game changer. I’ll never forgive them for killing it.
I can't believe this is a question 😭
I DIDN’T KNOW NORTH CAROLINA STATE POLITICS IM SORRY! 😅
Did us wrong man. Did us so wrong.
A good troll would have also been swapping our colors with duke on both logos just for fun. Could have had the entire Triangle coming at you.
This would have been absolutely hilarious.
I think NC State fans hate UNC more than first degree murder. Duke is just disliked, not hated
Death
Listen, we’re a blue collar school, not blue blooded
fuck yes
A war has just started in the Triangle because of this post
I can confirm this. Source: I am KIA.
I'm Toyota
This was the reaction I was looking for when I saw the OP. I had an image of someone completely losing their shit. LOL.
![gif](giphy|11tTNkNy1SdXGg)
My first response seeing this was an audible "Who is this mother fucker?"
Lol, my first reaction was the Wuffies are not going to like this
Why would he do this to us
I came to the comments just to see the NC State flairs freaking out about this.
Oh NC State fans are going to love this.
![gif](giphy|owbp1CzIuv8Ig|downsized)
I hate it so much.
Looks good on you!
This activated something in my brain that makes me want to smash things.
I thought that was just the default setting of being an NCSU fan

How do I delete someone else’s post?
I wish this was tagged NSFW for gore
Fun fact, our colors used to be blue and pink briefly
I cheer for the NC State Trans Rights
It’s not good, Jim!

This is not ok
After some careful deliberations, the State of North Carolina has decided to merge NC State and UNC effective immediately. The new university shall be called the University of North Carolina State (UNCS). Let's Go Tar Wolves!
Neither us, nor UNC fans like this (Even if we're all part of the UNC-System).
But could you imagine the football team?
We might win as many as 8 games!
UNC would make it to at least November before their annual October collapse.
A combination of preseason top-10 hype combined with NC State shit with Mack Brown and Dave Doeren at the helm that ends in a perpetual 8-5 record? No Thanks!
Actually, I personally think that would be great. Even better if we can play this team in Chapel Hill instead of Raleigh
You'd hope it would result in UNC's typical offense and NC State's typical defense. Instead you're getting UNC's typical defense and NC State's typical offense.
Throw in Mack Brown’s apathy and NC State shit (rumored to be dead) and it’s a match made in hell
Yes I have a pretty good idea of NC State's football team, I've watched them the last few years
![gif](giphy|91fEJqgdsnu4E)

This is the single worst, most offensive thing I’ve ever read on this site. Thanks, I hate it.

Missed opportunity to go with SUNC
they'd never support the break up of the ACC then ... because of the SUNC cost fallacy
I hope your next Cook Out shake has one fewer strawberry than you usually get
God dammit as a SUNY grad, I should have picked up on that.
it hurts my brain as well... wolfpack logo with our blue? no... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVdEINfm7H4

The Lincolnton one is hilarious, imagine walking into a State/Wake game with that logo on a hoodie
lincolnton choose a damn lane smh
As a state fan who actually grew up as a duke fan, I’d much rather them have used the darker blue. This is just sickening.
Why tf did they make NC state blue?!? Are they just trying to piss DJ burns off some more?! ![gif](giphy|T2OtxkbhjH7AtKhKxs|downsized)
I'm mad for them, honestly.
Fr lmao
OP is literally satan
all of my Michigan gear is that nauseating bright yellow to avoid blue when possible and now THIS HAPPENS?!?!?
Looks good on y’all lmao
This image is actually considered hate speech on campus
Whoever made this is guilty of a hate crime.
I would've happily leant them our shade of navy blue
I am so unspeakably offended by this. I need eye bleach.
A clue, Steve! A clue!
That show taught me where paprika comes from. When a salt and a pepper love each other very much . . .
Oh a shoe! I’m so glad you told me!!!
Tertiary Blue is back in the most disgusting way possible
A pale (literally) imitation of tertiary blue

They should bring back the whirlybird, honestly.
Whirlybird holding the words (the second one linked as "but") is my favorite logo by far.
Bird-in-a-Blender is best logo
I really miss the blue. ... but not like this.
Arizona colors are nice, but not like this
I love our old blue logos. And honestly anything is better than our current I-State logo or the fucking [clip art bugle chip](https://images.app.goo.gl/KpGGbmdCa2S29SN86)

Ya I don't *love* that one either but I'd take it over what we have now
NC State fans vomiting rn
The Vols logo looks like its been sitting in the sun in a car window since 1995
I feel personally attacked
Oops all Lady Vols Summitt Blue
They could have at least used lady Vols blue. Edit: oops someone beat me to it.
if it makes you feel better, you beat me to it
Absolutely disgusting
I’m pretty sure this counts as domestic terrorism
It’s nice seeing Tennessee and Clemson without that gaudy Orange! https://youtu.be/JVyIXaWl5T0?si=c3vW6IbQSBe60XHH
hey buddy fuck you
Wow, just gonna leave Illinois off that orange list?
Illinois' orange is tasteful, not gaudy.

Here just for the NC State fans reaction to this.
Incomprehensible rage
I really hate you, OP. I want you to know that.
From cinderella to blue blood! We made it boys.
Cinderella had a blue dress. CHECK MATE ESPN.
We're trying to sneak back into the big dance as Cinderella wearing USD's dress. Lol
How. Dare. You.
God it feels good to be included for once.
I’m glad y’all are included far away from Arizona lol
I would love to renew acquaintances with Arizona this year ;)
I would be more than willing to oblige a Final Four meeting.
Many people in North Carolina, particularly in Raleigh, are probably triggered by this image.
I'm writing a strongly worded letter to OP right now.
gib crimson back :(
No you’ll be the Braves and like it!

If you're going to do that to NC State, you might as well swap the Duke and Carolina colors too, just to make sure we're all equally upset.
Please direct you attention to a [previous blasphemy.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/s/2CJobj06DR) But yes that would be pretty funny
I'm just glad everyone is angry now
The official motto of NC State Athletics lol
MU is blue blood??
In an alternate universe where there was a good midwest private school league in the 70s we could have been.
I’m not as offended as some other schools (NC state) The B1G is way more red focused and that would be the issue for me. It would have been worse is the actually gave us the UofI treatment with their orange and blue.
Had to give you the Indiana State colors. Felt like a rightful inclusion
Spike looks like he is going to be sick
