Check out TCU’s new football uniforms, featuring ‘frog skin’ around the collar
TCU unveiled its new uniforms on social media Wednesday.
The Horned Frogs posted a two-minute video, narrated by former safety Derrick Kindred, on the history of the team. At the end, it showcases the uniforms for the 2019 season.
The new gear includes a black jersey, purple pants and purple helmet with black stripe; white jersey, white pants and white helmet with purple stripe; and purple jersey, black pants and black helmet with purple stripe.
There are practically no limitations on the different combinations.
Each jersey has “frog skin” around the collar.
The school described the collar as “a set of horns ... as intimidating as it is useful.
“The horns of a Horned Frog are extremely effective at deterring predators and emphasize a strong defense. Bringing that to the field is both iconic and uniquely TCU.”
The collar is also a throwback of sorts to the jerseys once worn by TCU great LaDainian Tomlinson.
“LT was Coach P’s kind of player: Overlooked, Hungry & Hardworking. The new uniforms give a nod to the first uniforms of the Patterson era that LT helped make iconic, with the geometric shapes around the collar.”
Another interesting aspect of the new jersey is the neck patch in the shape of a guitar pick.
“As a reminder of the tone and legacy that Coach P has established along with his love of music, the neck patch is in the shape and texture of a guitar pick,” the TCU release said.
