TCU Horned Frogs Matte Black Authentic Speed

The satin finish at full authenticity is a different category entirely. The Riddell Authentic Speed Satin Purple brings TCU Horned Frogs football to the top of the collector market in a shell that sets itself apart from everything else at the authentic level, a deep satin purple finish built to full game spec construction with the Horned Frog decal in white and black that reads with a precision and richness that the standard gloss authentic approaches from a completely different direction. At authentic spec the satin shell has a quality and tactile presence that makes this one of the most distinctive pieces in the entire college football authentic lineup regardless of program.

Satin finish authentics are a narrow category. The combination of a non-standard shell finish and full authentic construction creates a piece that collectors who have handled one do not forget and do not easily pass on. TCU's deep purple is one of the more naturally suited colors in college football to the satin treatment, the finish amplifying the depth and saturation of the shell in a way that the gloss version gestures toward but the satin delivers completely.

For TCU collectors who already have the standard gloss authentic this is the piece that sits apart from it on the shelf and changes the conversation around the entire display. For anyone coming to the Horned Frogs catalog at the top end for the first time, the satin purple authentic is the version that makes everything else look like a stepping stone.
