UNC football reveals uniform combination for Week 5

The North Carolina Tar Heels are back from their final bye week of the season. Following a disappointing game two weeks ago in which they blew a second-half lead to Clemson, the test gets tougher.

North Carolina is set to host No. 3 Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill, marking the biggest game in the Bill Belichick era so far. The Tar Heels are going to need to play their absolute best to pull off the upset in front of a sold-out crowd at Kenan Memorial Stadium.

When UNC takes the field on Saturday, they will be 21-point underdogs to Notre Dame. It's a tough task but it will be a pretty awesome environment at least early on.

As we get set for the game, the Tar Heels have revealed their uniforms and they are going back to the 1980's throwbacks. The program announced on Thursday that they will be wearing the new throwbacks that feature the blue helmet, blue top, and white pants:

This is the second time the Tar Heels have worn these uniforms this season, doing so in Week 2 against East Tennessee State, a game they won in blowout fashion.
