Texas Tech Football unveils new Mahomes-inspired uniforms

The Texas Tech Red Raiders unveiled uniforms Thursday with Patrick Mahomes’ signature “Gladiator” logo.

The helmet, logos and numbers of the dark gray look, called “Mahomes Strategy”, are rendered in metallic film.

The threads are part of an overall collaboration between Mahomes, Adidas and Texas Tech, nicknamed “Texas Tech x Patrick Mahomes collection.” When Adidas and Texas Tech entered into a 10-year partnership in July, the launch collection included co-branded apparel with Mahomes’ logo, a first for any athlete, according to Texas Tech.

Before being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017, Mahomes threw for 11,252 yards, 93 touchdowns and 29 interceptions over three years at Texas Tech.

According to Kirby Hocutt, the school’s athletic director, the uniform continues a partnership that made Texas Tech the first Adidas school to use an athlete partner’s logo.

“Seeing my own logo on the Texas Tech uniform that I put so much blood, sweat and tears into is one of the most meaningful off-court achievements of my career,” Mahomes said in a press release on Thursday. “I would like to thank the three-stripe family for giving me this unique opportunity.”

Mahomes shared the uniform with players during a meeting with them in August.
