The North Carolina football program is marking the 100th anniversary of Kenan Memorial Stadium with a change to its field markings. Director of Athletic Grounds and Turf Management Ryan Anderson unveiled an 80s-era throwback logo that will be painted at midfield for the team's upcoming home game. The Tar Heels are scheduled to host East Tennessee State on September 12 following a bye week. This celebration comes after an opening win against TCU in Ireland. While past reports indicated the team also ordered throwback uniforms, it remains unconfirmed if those will debut during this specific contest. The stadium, now in its centennial year, remains the focal point of the program's scheduled aesthetics for the remainder of the season.
