Looking to snap a two-game losing streak and secure a bowl invite, the Wolfpack (5-6, 2-5 ACC) is breaking out the same uniform combo that the program has donned across its five road bouts against the Tar Heels in the Dave Doeren era. State recorded a 4-1 record in those contests, including a 30-27 overtime victory in the most recent trip to Chapel Hill in 2022.
As the NC State football social media team advertised in the following posted threads-reveal video on Friday, the combo consists of red helmets, white jerseys, and red pants:

While the program has fared well in that look versus UNC, the NC State Uniform Tracker account pointed out that NC State is only 11-9 overall in the red-white-red getup since Doeren's arrival in Raleigh.
The Wolfpack is 15-9 overall in the series since 2000 and 7-4 under Doeren, including three straight wins and a 6-2 mark since 2016. However, UNC still enjoys a commanding 68-39-6 advantage over NC State in their all-time series.
