“We were pleased that students, campus departments and University partners extended their resources to craft virtual opportunities for Carolina supporters everywhere to express their school pride. While we’re not able to be physically together, I am excited for UNC fans to experience a united celebration,” said Associate Director for Trademarks and Licensing Shelly Terry.

Campus groups and departments have teamed up to deliver Carolina-themed experiences for fans everywhere to join in.

This free event is sponsored by UNC Trademarks and Licensing, in partnership with Campus Recreation, Carolina Dining Services, the Carolina Union, the Carolina Union Activities Board, Athletics, Wells Fargo, Champion and UNC Student Stores.

The 16th annual College Colors Day is a national holiday that gives Carolina fans across the country the opportunity to showcase their spirit by wearing Carolina Blue, white or fashion-colored UNC merchandise and then sharing their pride on social media using the hashtags #GoHeels and #CollegeColorsDay.

College Colors Day was created by the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), the University’s licensing partner, to provide a unified spirit day for college fans and supporters. Visit www.collegecolorsday.com to learn more.
