@fleischman_noah They used these for a while and then used them again as the template for one that didn’t have buttons and had red sleeves. Both great. Needs to be an option year in and year out

These might be the best jerseys in the rotation now.

A blast from the past... with a fresh look. Sleeveless is back.
English
@PackInsider Hell, at least have him sign a one day contract and retire with Coach Gainey sending him off rather than the last guy
English
Will Roach goes on record saying Gainey's first hire needs to be bringing KB out of retirement.
KB was NC State's equipment manager dating back to the mid-80s

PI PODCAST: Few people in Raleigh are as close to Justin Gainey as former Wolfpacker Will Roach.
He joins us to share his insight on...
- The type of system he'll run
- What his staff may look like
- Player coach vs Disciplinarian
- Plus much more...

@TheFieldOf68 He said the same thing in his press conferences in North Haverbook, Ogdenville, and Brockway - and by gum he put them on the map

Will Wade on NC State 👀
"I think some of the things have been mischaracterized on how I left, but I'm not gonna get into a back-and-forth. The people who need to know, know. When there's a situation like this, everybody has to cover, let's put it that way. I'm at peace with how I left... Look, they're pretty mad for a coach they didn't think was very good"

@LO_Wolfpack Slobbering wolf q zip was a perfect touch at the end 🫡
English
@giglio_OG The picture of Wade in Baton Rouge posing as Press Maravich or some shit is going to do numbers #wolfblood

I’ve been focused on the “98 Vols” prophecy for Duke basketball, apparently there’s a real chance NC State basketball is headed for a “09 Vols” rerun.
Would be a wild chapter in State and Triangle sports
English
@ncstatestats There’s definitely been some issues with their portal work the last few years - but I think there’s a good chance Wes takes the WBB program to back to back Final Fours if your top transfer doesn’t get hurt before 24-25 and never plays a minute
English
WBB
2019-2022: 83% wins in ACC, 3 sweet 16s (plus canceled tourney), 1 elite 8, 3 ACCT titles, 1 reg season title.
2023-26: 67% wins in ACC, 2 sweet 16s, 1 final 4, 1 reg season title.

@BMMATTERS445 They have a large contingent of fans whose entire self-worth is propped up by what some rando at US News & World Report or wherever writes about their alma mater (or even more confusing, about a university that they didn’t attend)
English
This man attended a school that doesn’t even exist anymore btw
Josh "Fitty" Marlow@HTB_Josh
My Maw Maw could apply and get into NC State and she didn’t even finish high school. There’s nothing to brag about going to school there or getting a degree from there.

Bill O'Donnell retweetledi
A leaked email, a retro jersey and a familiar word: STATE.
Who gets to decide how NC State looks and why? From @PackMensBball to club sports to alumni merch, the backlash is forcing the University’s brand rules open.

@BMMATTERS445 I saw a child in the concourse drop to their knees weeping when they saw the usage of “Pack” without the leading apostrophe. Hope the branding folks will right this wrong asap
English
We freak out about branding but this shit from 2003 is still hanging in our arena
English
@joeovies 🎶I’ll be listening from my Will Wade desk chair that morning and/or afternoon🎶
English
You're not going to "win". You're going to following the process to get what you want. It ain't that deep as you're making out to be. If Wade wants it, then go through the process. Which...gasp...takes time.
Everett's Burner #GaineySzn@packtillidie
@joeovies Give it time. We're gonna win this one.

@mkburkhart @NCSUTechnician @TechSports Good luck getting anything from the Trademark/Branding Department to explain any of this. Sharing a couple articles I wrote over the last few years for some additional background if these are helpful at all

Hey Wolfpack Nation! I'm writing a sports piece for @NCSUTechnician @TechSports about retro logos, their use and fans' calls to bring them back into regular use, in the wake of Will Wade's comments. Would any superfans be interested in a short phone interview? #SlobbedUp
English
@gopacknow @pb_jellytime69 @BarstoolPack This is from 2021, but the below screenshot shows how those with the trademark licensing department communicates with State fans and alumni
English
@pb_jellytime69 @BarstoolPack I can only speak to 2013. The compromise gained us the ability to use “State” for special occasions. That mattered to us.
English
Will Wade is the fucking man
Chris Boyer is NOT. He’s ruining our brand and not giving us fans what we want.
This is BEYOND ABSURD that Will Wade of all people doesn’t have this freedom

NC State coach Will Wade: "I want to wear the Slobbering Wolf, but they won't let me wear that on my jacket." On wearing the throwbacks again: "We got a scathing email from the university after the first game. They weren't happy." They might come back once more time.
English
@MichaelTracey_ Just to provide some clarity here, this was not “fake news”. It wasn’t the Chancellors Seal that was replaced, but instead the Commercial Seal. This is what they rolled out in 2018
English
A little bit of fake news here from Pack Chat. They did not change the official seal.
They added that design in what they call “The University Hallmark”
Pack Chat@PackChat1887
The same geniuses that don't want us wearing retros also destroyed the university's seal Complete and utter incompetence 👇👇
English
Welcome, @CoachWadeNCSU and @reed_vial3. Been trying to call attention to some of the decisions made by the University’s trademark office @NCStateTailgate for years

@joeovies Mine has been filled with OG Light before, but no high end bourbon 👀
English
@repper78 @joeovies 2016 team was 6-6 and won a bowl to get to 7-6. Point is, State doesn’t finish 7-5 “every year”
I’m not a massive Doeren fan, but the program won 8-9 games from 2020-2023 with two season ending injuries to its starting QB in the 8 win years. Narrative around Doeren is just weird
English
English
@Statefan114 @noah_teague1 @PackMensBball Agreed. Especially when listening to feedback from your fans, alumni, etc is just seemingly such a low bar
English
@WROncsu @noah_teague1 @PackMensBball Remember this one - excellent rundown. Really frustrating that they’re so draconian in their approach and not at all receptive to the increasingly loud fan feedback.
English
Huge thank you to everyone that I talked to for this one!
Very few things bring people together like NC State’s retro basketball uniforms, read below why they should be the full-time uniform for @PackMensBball 👇
Technician Sports@TechSports
The fans have spoken — and they want retro back. @PackMensBball supporters are pushing for a full-time return of the throwback uniforms, saying the look fits the program’s identity and energy. ✍️ @noah_teague1 technicianonline.com/152006/sports/…
