UNBC’s Athletics department is raising money for UNBC’s Afro-Caribbean Student Association this month.
The shirts celebrate the achievements of UNBC’s present and past black student athletes.
“It’s a very special honour to wear this shirt,” said Tyrell Laing, the all-time leading scorer for UNBC Timberwolves men’s basketball.
“There are black athletes at UNBC that have accomplished special things and being able to have the shirt to honour Black History Month and to respect a lot of the sacrifices that have taken place throughout history, along with Black Heritage Night (September 9) is very exciting for the community here.”
Fans who arrive to the Timberwolves men’s and women’s basketball home games on February 9th wearing the shirt will get in for free.
They are for sale for $20 at the UNBC Athletics office.
