Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star quarterback, keeps showing his loyalty to Texas Tech. That university helped shape his early career, and he doesn’t let anyone forget it. Now that Mahomes is turning 30, he’s got his sights set on snapping the Chiefs’ three-game losing streak. But he’s also busy with projects that shine a spotlight on his alma mater. Recently, Mahomes teamed up with adidas to reveal a special “Too Cold” uniform for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It’ll make its debut on November 8 when they face BYU. Let’s dig into what Mahomes is doing for Texas Tech, why this new uniform matters, and what it could mean for both the Red Raiders and the Chiefs. It’s a lot more interesting than just another jersey drop, if you ask me. Patrick Mahomes and Texas Tech: A Lasting Bond Mahomes’ connection to Texas Tech is honestly pretty deep. The guy led the Chiefs to NFL glory in 2019, but he hasn’t lost sight of the place that gave him his start. Turning 30 this week, Mahomes is channeling some of that birthday energy into supporting Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are off to a hot start, sitting at 3-0 after a dominant 45-14 win over Oregon State. They’re currently ranked No. 17 in the latest Associated Press poll. Not bad at all for a program that’s had its ups and downs. The “Too Cold” Uniform Unveiling Mahomes and adidas cooked up the “Too Cold” uniform, and it’s not your average jersey. The design leans into a galvanized Gladiator vibe, with Mahomes’ Gladiator logo front and center on the chest. His surname is stitched inside the neck collar, which is a nice touch. The jersey is white, with bold red and metallic numbers that definitely pop. Fans can grab the jersey over at adidas.com. Whether you’re a Red Raiders diehard or just a Mahomes fan, it’s up for grabs. The Significance of the November 8 Game The Red Raiders will break out their new “Too Cold” uniforms on November 8 against BYU at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. This isn’t just any game—it’s a potential decider in the 16-team Big 12 Conference. Texas Tech is also rolling out its first white-out promotion in seven years. They’re hoping the home crowd will show up in white and make some noise. Mahomes’ Presence at the Game Mahomes is planning to be there in person on November 8, thanks to the Chiefs’ bye week. His presence should give the team and fans a real boost—he tends to have that effect. Honestly, the timing couldn’t be better. The Chiefs wrap up a tough first half of their schedule with a road game in Buffalo against Josh Allen on November 2, so Mahomes gets a little window to head back to Lubbock. Texas Tech’s Recent Success Texas Tech isn’t just making noise in football—their athletic programs are thriving all over. This summer, Mahomes was spotted supporting the Texas Tech women’s softball team at the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City. The softball team managed to end Oklahoma’s four-year championship run, which is pretty wild. That’s the kind of upset people talk about for years. Big 12 Opener Against Utah This week, Texas Tech is in the national spotlight for their Big 12 opener against No. 16 Utah. FOX picked it as its Big Noon Saturday game of the week, so all eyes will be on the Red Raiders. Conclusion Patrick Mahomes keeps showing up for Texas Tech in ways that go beyond the usual alumni shout-outs. He helped unveil the “Too Cold” uniform with adidas, which was a cool moment for the school. He’s not just a name in the NFL—he pops up at big college games too, cheering on the Red Raiders. With the November 8 game against BYU on the horizon, fans in Lubbock and Kansas City are buzzing. If you want all the details, the full article is here.
