Yesterday, in a press release, TCU announced that they will wear the new Nike Pro Combat uniform starting this Saturday in their home game against the Utah Utes. TCU is one of ten elite teams that will wear the new uniform. This is the lightest football uniform that Nike has ever created, and is 25% lighter than a regular uniform.

“Players need their uniforms to be as light as possible so they can play the game at top speed,” said Kris Aman, Global VP and General Manager for Nike Athletic Training which includes football. “The Nike Pro Combat uniform is a modern system of dress that is dramatically lighter while providing durability and protection.”

The press release states: Nike designers immersed themselves in TCU Horned Frog history and lore to bring inspirational cues to the look and direction of the Nike Pro Combat uniforms. The entire system of dress features aesthetic elements inspired by the Horned Frogs’ fearless attitude and promising future. Nike was even able to digitally sublimate a horned frog skin print on the new TCU uniform pants and helmets.
