It's not urban legend.

Tcu colors are purple and white. Yet, they throw out black and red and the world doesn't stop? Remarkable.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It's no different than what we discuss here ad nauseum and what our reaction would be if we did this.

The TCU fans don't like the new uniforms (at least from most of what I have seen online - I'm sure there is a faction who does like them) and the players/recruits ostensibly like them.

It is urban legend if you are talking about a Horned Frog. It's not an urban legend if you are talking about a Horned Lizard. Those are two different animals.

I understand that recruits like ghetto-looking uniforms. But I hope we never do that, or black jerseys.


I don't like the amount of black myself but the players and recruits seem to like them. Ironically I actually like the helmets. I will say that TCU has figured out how to promote these things...check out the tcu uniform video on YouTube....it's pretty cool.

I hate TCU just as much as as the next SMU fan, but damn they do this stuff right.

Just about everybody does this stuff right compared to us.

We can do better than those . . .

I did break down and bought my dad a white shirt to wear next week (we have season tickets together), so I guess I'll be wearing white as well, but after that it's all blue to home games!

You can't tell what team it is except from the back.

I swear, Nike execs sit around and try to design the ugliest stuff on the planet, just to see who will wear it.

Those things are god-awful (and not just because they're TCU's).

I just as well assumed the red was from an axe wound.

I see a day coming when everyone will wear totally black unis with their school colors as
trim :roll:

The only way you'll be able to tell the difference from the stands is the visiting team will wear
grey jerseys. :?
May the forth be with us.

The new uniforms are awesome - not as good as the frog-skin pants, but still awesome.
