TCU Horned Frogs will wear the 'Clover Frog' helmet design for their 2026 season opener against North Carolina on August 29.
The game will be played at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, marking the first time a Texas college football team plays on the Emerald Isle.
The 'Clover Frog' helmet features a single four-leaf clover in the mouth of the Horned Frog, inspired by the helmet TCU wore for its 2011 Rose Bowl victory.
The four-leaf clover is traditionally considered a symbol of good luck.
TCU Football tweeted a picture of the new helmet, saying it will "rock Clover Frog" for the game in Ireland.
The Horned Frogs beat North Carolina 48-14 in last year's season opener, and will look to repeat that success in the 2026 Aer Lingus College Football Classic.
TCU Horned Frogs will face North Carolina Tar Heels on August 29, 2026, in their season opener.
The team finished last year ranked No. 25 in the AP poll with a 9-4 record, including an Alamo Bowl victory over No. 16 USC.
The 'Clover Frog' helmet design is a nod to the team's history and a symbol of good luck for the upcoming season.
TCU Horned Frogs are set to take on North Carolina in a highly anticipated matchup, and the new helmet design is sure to generate excitement among fans.
The team's performance in the 2026 season will be closely watched, and the 'Clover Frog' helmet will be a unique part of their identity.
