I've been expecting UNC to jump on the bandwagon, and I was surprised they didn't do so earlier.

Actually at this point I'm expecting nearly every BCS conference team to have alternate helmet designs in 2012, with the exception of a few teams like Alabama, Penn State, Southern California, Tennessee, and maybe Oklahoma. I think the turmoil at Penn State has increased the chance that they may consider an alternate helmet design - they may decide it's time to make a break from the past and adopt a helmet logo (though I still doubt they will).

The new head coach at PSU said he isn't going to change the uniforms. There is a section in this article about halfway down that talks about this:
