What TCU Is Wearing
The jersey is the standard purple home jersey with silver numbers trimmed in white, the purple we expected for this game on our TCU schedule, with a patch on the chest for the occasion.
The helmet is the change. It is white, with a center stripe made of purple diamonds, and the side logo is the horned frog head, the snarling frog with its horns swept back, in purple. The bumper reads "Give 'Em Hell." TCU is calling it a look back ("everything old is new again"), and it is a sharp turn from the purple helmets the Frogs wear most weeks.

Kansas State had not posted its look as of Friday afternoon. We will add it here when the Wildcats do.
Our Grade: B
The purple jersey is TCU at its best. That purple is one of the most distinct colors in college football, and silver numbers on it look right. It earns the grade on its own.
The helmet is where it slips. The frog head is a great logo, but a white shell with a busy diamond stripe pulls your eye away from the purple, and the whole thing reads louder than it needs to. Put the same frog on a purple helmet and this is an A. As it is, it's a B.
