1977 Runner Up Banner?
Your image isn't working.
Really? I see it. And yes, its the 1977 runner-up banner.
I think the link is from your G-Mail account. That's why we can't see it. Try saving the image and attaching it to the post.
Darn, was trying to get around attaching it.
Are they both not showing? Both are attached now.
Yup. They both work now. Great stuff!
Do they have a banner for every single season?
I can't find an image of their random season banners but I found these.

It looks like they recently redid all of their banners.

This makes me wonder if I can buy the 1977 NCAA Championship banner.
I just want to put this question up here cause it just hit me that this might not be right...
A school can sell old memorabilia(the banner), but players(like ohio state) aren't allowed to sell their rings or gear they get?
1924?

Please return with a new thread on this in the offseason-- there is much to discuss on this point. Thanks

From UNC's website...
http://tarheelblue.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/111402aab.html
The first of Carolina's national championships came long before the term "March Madness" became an annual rite of spring. In fact, when Carolina won the 1924 national championship with a 26-0 record, there wasn't even an NCAA Tournament.
The Helms Foundation voted the Tar Heels as national champions after their perfect season, as there was no post-season tournament. Carolina defeated Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Alabama en route to the Southern Conference championship.
Cartwright Carmichael, Jack Cobb, Bill Dodderer and Monk McDonald led the Tar Heel squad directed by first-year coach Norman Shepard. Carolina played its home games in the Indoor Athletic Center, also known as the Tin Can.
The championship season was also Shepard's last at the helm of the Tar Heels, as McDonald took over as head coach the following season. McDonald was the only former UNC player to coach the Tar Heels until Matt Doherty returned to Chapel Hill to take over in 2000-01.

The auction ended about 2 years ago.
UNC has little reason to be so banner crazy, especially given their multiple championships. .
Four NCAAs, and One National Champ(1924-pre NCAA), and the NIT's (especially in the old days), merit separate banners.
One banner for ACC reg season conf champ, and one for ACC tourney champ (each with the years listed) is also fine, as are separate banners for each retired jersey number.
Any more is just adding quantity, over quality.
As Magic Johnson said, .."they don't give you any rings for winning the Damn western conference"...
