#61/341 - Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

A lot of cool things about this jersey. The color scheme is great, the flag patch is cool and makes me believe it could be team issued, and they made the NCAA Tournament this past year.

Now for some odd trivia. The state of Michigan has Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, etc. A lot of states do this but how do you have these directionally-named schools if your state starts with them. You can't have Northern North Carolina or Eastern South Carolina. Solution? North Carolina has East Carolina and Western Carolina but that means that South Carolina can't use those.

So South Carolina got clever. Their eastern school is called Coastal Carolina, as opposed to Eastern South Carolina, and they have South Carolina Upstate as opposed to North South Carolina. Well it was interesting to me.
