Archivist’s Field Notes
This is the ultimate alumni piece. The gold-plated accents against the specific palette of Carolina blues give it a prestige that works just as well in a graduation ceremony as it does at a courtside seat. It captures that rare Tar Heel energy: sophisticated, disciplined, and always playing for the gold. It’s a sentinel for those who bleed blue.
