The TCU Horned Frogs will open the 2013 season wearing an aggressive new uniform, unveiled earlier today by Nike.

TCU's all-black uniform features purple and red accents, along with bold white numbers containing a new spike pattern. Inspired by the horned frog's scaly body armor, the new spike pattern runs onto the sleeves and eye-catching new helmet, where a bright red streak represents one of the horned frog's remarkable defense mechanisms -- an aimed shot of blood from the eyes to repel predators. This blood red steak also serves as a reminder of the "bloodlines" and brotherhood of the storied football program.
