The MSU men’s basketball team released photos of its special camouflage uniforms for the Nov. 11 Quicken Loans Carrier Classic.
The team will wear home white against No. 1 North Carolina in San Diego.
“U.S.A.” will replace players’ names on the back name-plate above the uniform numbers.
“I think the uniforms are pretty cool,” head coach Tom Izzo said in a release. “They definitely put the spotlight on our military, and that’s what this is for.
“When I spent some time coaching the troops in Kuwait a few years ago, I was fortunate enough to get to wear fatigues twice. That was certainly a thrill for me, and if a player doesn’t get a little more excited wearing this, there’s something wrong.”
The Tar Heels also will wear camouflage uniforms in their classic Carolina Blue.

I hope they upset the Heels, but against such powerful competition, their uniforms might as well say “Washington Generals.” (The stand-in opponents of the Harlem Globetrotters).
