“Seeing my own logo on the Texas Tech uniform I put so much blood, sweat and tears in is one of the most meaningful off-field accomplishments of my career,” Mahomes said. “I want to thank the three-stripe family for giving me this one-of-a-kind opportunity.”
The Mahomes Strategy uniforms feature Dark Grey tackle swill with printed metallic films and Power Red accents. Which the Red Raiders will debut for the first time in their home game against Colorado on November 9.
Mahomes played three seasons at Texas Tech from 2014 to 2016 before taking his talents to the NFL. Winning two NFL MVP awards and helping lead the Kansas City Chiefs to three Super Bowl wins. Signing with Adidas in 2017 and now serving as one of the brand’s top athletes who has definitely placed a priority on giving back and being involved with his alma mater.
