Coastal Carolina is set to wear 1990s-themed uniforms when it faces conference rival Appalachian State on Friday, according to Fox News and the team’s uniform announcement cited in the report.
The design takes inspiration from the era’s colorful, oversized style and television shows including “Saved by the Bell,” “Boy Meets World,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Friends.” Fox News also noted a Coastal Carolina-branded Game Boy Color as part of the concept.
The uniforms have prompted differing reactions among fans. Some may appreciate the nostalgic look, while others prefer teams to stick with traditional designs, the report said. The article’s author praised the creative approach and described it as a way for the program to attract attention during a nationally televised Friday-night game.
Coastal Carolina is known for its teal-themed home field and distinctive visual identity. The matchup with Appalachian State is the occasion for the new uniforms; the source does not provide a game result.
