As if the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game could get any better, it was announced Friday that both Georgia and North Carolina will wear their home jerseys for season-opening game; as the game is technically considered a home game for both teams.
The Bulldogs will of course be wearing Georgia Red with the Tarheels wearing Carolina blue. The Chick-fil-A official twitter sent out this tweet to announce the news:
