TCU Football has revealed a brand-new set of uniforms and helmets for the UPCOMING season. This is the first complete refresh for the Horned Frogs since 2019, marking a significant moment in the team's visual identity.
The excitement began on Sunday night when TCU Athletics released a hype video that featured iconic figures and memorable moments from Horned Frog history. The video, which built anticipation for a “Big NEWs at 8:17 AM,” cleverly played on nostalgia and Fort Worth’s 817 area code, sparking rumors about potential new designs, including alternate jerseys reflecting TCU's "Funkytown" home or the retro Flying T logos re-licensed in 2022.
Following a trend seen in recent Nike uniform rebrands TCU’s new uniforms have adopted a minimalist aesthetic. The new look features solid color pants and jerseys, a significant departure from previous designs. The jerseys are marked by a simple TCU logo on the front collar and a small “Carter Boys” patch on the back collar, paying homage to the players' camaraderie and spirit.
The announcement also included an exciting update to the team's helmet options. The new set of chrome helmets offers two distinct designs. A purple frogskin pattern helmet with a silver horned frog and white arched TCU lettering. as well as A mirror silver chrome helmet featuring purple arched TCU lettering. These designs bring a modern and dynamic look to the Horned Frogs, blending traditional elements with contemporary flair.
While the new uniforms and helmets are a departure from the previous design, notably dropping the collar spikes, they harken back to the Horned Frogs' 2017 styling. This blend of old and new is a testament to TCU’s commitment to honoring its past while forging a fresh path forward.
TCU's new uniforms and helmets reflect a strategic shift towards a more streamlined and sophisticated look. This change is not just about aesthetics but also about setting a new tone for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. The minimalist design, combined with the striking new helmets, positions TCU Football to make a memorable impact on the field and in the hearts of their fans.
