Overview

  • TCU unveiled the alternate black uniform set on Monday, June 15, 2026, to be worn for the Aug. 29 season opener against North Carolina at Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
  • The kit pairs a purple Clover Frog helmet with a black jersey and pants and reintroduces the distinctive Frog Skin number style first seen in 2010.
  • The uniform debuts a new Horned Collar pattern sewn into the shoulders and neck area as an explicit new branding element.
  • The team confirmed the game will air on ESPN, though published reports differ on kickoff time with one listing 11 a.m. ET and another listing noon ET.
