Bill Belichick is trying literally everything in his attempt to create winning vibes at North Carolina.
The legendary NFL head coach who knows a little bit about winning games and Super Bowl titles is just a few weeks from starting his first season in Chapel Hill. Naturally, there is a ton of work to be done on the field as North Carolina gets fall camp going in the hopes of putting last year’s 6-7 campaign behind it.
Hiring Belichick to replace Mack Brown was step 1. Belichick having a successful fall camp is step 2. Then, obviously, step 3 will be making it all happen on the field when the games begin to count. But Belichick is also working the spiritual angle when it comes to trying to make North Carolina football a perennial winner.
And in this case, it means harkening back to the glorious 1980 season, when the Tar Heels started 7-0 and finished 11, with the only setback being a blowout loss at then-No. 16 Oklahoma in early November when North Carolina was ranked 6th. After that tough day, 4 more wins followed, including a bowl game victory over Texas, and the magic in 1980 all happened while wearing uniforms that UNC’s fan base fell in love with.
Well, Belichick and UNC have ordered the return of those fabled jerseys from the ’80 season, according to a report by InsideCarolina on Wednesday.
UNC alum Taylor Vippolis took to social media to offer a sampling of those jerseys from 45 years ago that the Tar Heels hope to reintroduce this season:

— Taylor Vippolis (@tvippolis) August 6, 2025Naturally, simply wearing throwback jerseys from a season in which the Tar Heels did almost nothing but win won’t make the current Tar Heels win. It”ll take doing it on the field, something Belichick knows a lot about from his legendary time with the New England Patriots.
But everything helps, and Belichick obviously believes the throwback threads will be a huge boost in his debut season.
