NC State preps ‘Black Howl’ for Thursday night date with Louisville

N.C. State’s going chrome.

The Wolfpack football team will wear black and silver for its “Black Howl” home game with Louisville on Thursday night, Oct. 5.

The Wolfpack has worn black uniforms before but will have a new look for the 2017 season.

The black helmets have a red “Mr. Wuf” decal with silver and red stripes down the center and chrome facemasks.

The black jerseys have silver numbers outlined in red and three silver stripes on each shoulder. The black pants have “Wolfpack” written vertically down the right leg.

N.C. State has six home games next season. There’s a good chance the Wolfpack will wear its gray alternate uniforms for one game and the traditional red home jersey for the other four.
