After coming within one fourth-quarter collapse of a perfect regular season and College Football Playoff berth, TCU is relishing its new status as an expected national title contender. And at the Horned Frogs spring game Friday night, they unveiled their new uniforms to go with it. Via TCU athletics:

Wondering about that pattern on the gray and purple uniforms? Just ask Nike:

The new uniform design is one of the first to include a full sublimated pattern on the jersey and pants. Like the fierce, desert-dwelling mascot, the horned frog, the TCU football team uses speed, quickness and defensive tactics to outwit opponents. The horned frog's scaly body armor inspires the new sublimated pattern -- a digital evolution of the program's existing lizard skin pattern. Covering the entire jersey, and extending through the pant, the motif embodies the fearless attitude that defines both the mascot and the team.

It's hard to make a monochrome purple uniform work, but modeling it after horned frog skin is an awfully big help. More photos, via TCU:

The uniforms were unveiled in a special ceremony (or, if you prefer, fashion show) following TCU's Friday night spring game.
