This will mark the 12th time that NC State has opened the season vs. East Carolina. Nine of those previous openers vs. the Pirates have been at Carter-Finley Stadium. For the first time in program history, the Wolfpack will open the season with the team it last played. NC State and ECU met in the GoBowling Military Bowl on Dec. 28, 2024.
NC State holds a 19-14 overall record against the Pirates and 17-8 in Raleigh.
The Wolfpack will pay homage to its hometown with its Adidas "City of Oaks" uniform in the season opener. The uniform honors Raleigh in some obvious and subtle ways, including the city's unofficial logo - an acorn - featured next to the script "NC State" on the front of the jersey. That script was inspired by an old neon sign in downtown Raleigh.
The fabric of the jersey includes a background pattern that mimics the cap of an acorn. As the scales of an acorn cap are arranged in the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical pattern that is found throughout nature. This detail celebrates the beauty and natural landscape of our hometown as well as the commitment to science, education, and technology that Raleigh is known for.
