Louisville to Wear Muhammad Ali-Inspired Uniforms Saturday vs. UNC

Louisville will wear Muhammad Ali-inspired uniforms for their top-15 matchup against UNC on Saturday.

The No. 15 Cardinals will face off against the No. 9 Tar Heels for their second matchup of the season. Louisville defeated its ACC opponent 83–62 in early January.

Louisville teased the uniforms on Thursday with a video that included famous quotes from the legendary heavyweight boxer. Photos released Friday showed off the black and white uniforms and footwear for the white-out game.

Ali, a Louisville native, died in 2016 after a long battle with Parkinson's syndrome. He was 56–5 in his professional boxing career and considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight in history.
