Our Story

North Carolina isn't just a state — it's a rivalry. It's the tailgate debates, the game-day traditions, and the deep, unwavering pride that comes with wearing your team's colors. At Rival NC, we celebrate all of it.

Founded in New Bern, NC, Rival NC was born out of a simple belief: that fans of every school deserve access to premium, thoughtfully curated gear that matches the passion they bring to every game. Whether you bleed red and white, Carolina blue, purple and gold, or royal blue — this is your store.

What We Stand For

We carry apparel, drinkware, and home decor for the four schools that define college sports in North Carolina — NC State Wolfpack, UNC Tar Heels, ECU Pirates, and Duke Blue Devils. No favorites. Just quality products for every fan in the family.

We believe game-day style shouldn't be an afterthought. Every item in our collection is chosen with care — for quality, for design, and for the fans who wear it with pride.

Rooted in North Carolina

We're a local business with a love for this state and its communities. From pop-up events to online orders shipped across NC and beyond, we're here to connect fans with the gear that makes game day feel like home.

Thank You for Supporting Rival NC

Whether you're shopping for yourself, a gift, or stocking up before the big game — thank you for being part of the Rival NC community. We're honored to be your go-to source for NC college sports gear.

Go your team. Rival NC.
