North Carolina Basketball gear
 

Traveling through the state On 1-40. Son wants to stop at Duke to buy Basketball stuff. Daughter wants Tar Hill Blanket for Boyfriend. Please help with stores & directions to purchase them not too far off our road trip. Thanks

dukestores/duke.edu Save yourself the trip - they seem to have everything available on-line

I would buy online as well.

I'm not a native, but it is Tar Heel...btw. Online is the way to go if you really want any of that ugly blue stuff...lol

I-40, exit 270 (highway 15-501). The sign will say UNC one way, Duke the other. Turn towards Duke/Durham (15-501 N). At first light past intersection, turn left, on the left is a shopping center called New Hope Commons. It has a Wal-Mart (best prices), Omega Sports and Dick's Sporting Goods. Sometimes the Marshall's has UNC and items from that other school.

Warning: the shopping center has the worst parking lot.

Any sporting goods store in NC will most likely sell Duke and UNC stuff. I know all our stores in SC also sell their stuff.

The Duck Shop which is one of the official Duke University Shops, is located at 703 Ninth St. Durham. Easy access from I-85 or the Durham Freeway (147) They have a fair amount of Duke items and Ninth Street is a fun stop. Variety of restaurants, book stores and great people watching.

Thank you for your response. Can you tell I'm not a Tar Heel fan. :) Have ordered on line before. Don't want to pay shipping & the kids want to shop & pick something they can see & get in the State.

In most places around the state, the K-Marts usually have an excellent selection of college garb (although I can't believe I'm even talking to someone who isn't a Tar Heel fan!!! :p Prettiest blue on the planet! ;;))
