NC State to wear throwback uniforms vs. Notre Dame (Photos)

When NC State hosts Notre Dame on Oct. 8, the Wolfpack will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first game at Carter-Finley Stadium. In doing so, the team will wear throwback uniforms featuring the program’s classic red diamond logo.

NC State first used the diamond logo in 1986 and it graced the Wolfpack’s helmet for the following 14 seasons until returning to the block “S” in 2000.

Here is how the rest of the uniform combination will look:

Coming off a 7-6 record in 2015, NC State opens its 2016 campaign at home against William & Mary.
