TCU dropped its new uniforms for the 2024 college football season Monday.
The Horned Frogs showcased monochrome purple, black and white jerseys, none of which is a radical departure from what they wore before. The collars saw the biggest change as the diamond pattern around the neck was eliminated.
This seems to be a conscious choice by Nike, TCU's apparel manufacturer. Baylor, Iowa State and Minnesota have all gotten new uniforms, and none of the three was all that adventurous in terms of the design.

Those who already liked TCU's jerseys probably won't find much to complain about with the update. Others might feel a bit let down the Horned Frogs are rolling with such a generic look. Especially with the removal of the diamonds lining the collar, there isn't much to set the school apart aside from its color scheme.
Dexatron @ItsDexatronI know some people didn't like the Spike collars (I personally loved them). But you take all the personality out of the uniforms and are wearing practice uniforms now. <a href="https://t.co/hxnvZ5NQX4">https://t.co/hxnvZ5NQX4</a> <a href="https://t.co/HnQE6Dy1xA">pic.twitter.com/HnQE6Dy1xA</a>
The new jerseys will debut Aug. 30, when TCU hits the road to play Stanford. The team's first home game is Sept. 7 against Long Island University.
The Horned Frogs are looking to improve on a 5-7 record in 2023, a relatively steep fall from their College Football Playoff run a season earlier. They had opened the year as the No. 17-ranked team before losing to Colorado in their opener.
Nobody is expecting head coach Sonny Dykes to make TCU a title contender again, but anything short of bowl eligibility will probably be considered a major disappointment.
