adidas and Patrick Mahomes joined forces in Lubbock to announce the second class of Team Mahomes, an NIL cohort of Texas Tech student-athletes. The announcement comes in tandem with the on-field debut of Texas Tech\u2019s \u201cToo Cold\u201d uniform, featuring Mahomes\u2019 signature Gladiator logo. <\/p>\n
As a proud Red Raider alum, Mahomes is using his eight-year relationship with adidas to turn a shared vision into reality: empowering the next generation of college athletes by elevating their performance on the field and creating game-changing opportunities off the field. Building on the momentum from Texas Tech\u2019s inaugural year as an adidas school<\/a>, Mahomes is bringing fresh energy to what\u2019s already shaping up to be a landmark year for Texas Tech Athletics. <\/p>\n \u201cTexas Tech will always be home for me, so I\u2019m proud to give back to the school and community who helped shape me on and off the field,\u201d said Patrick Mahomes. \u201cAs the partnership with adidas continues to evolve and expand, we\u2019re redefining not just the future of Red Raider sports, but college athletics more widely.\u201d<\/p>\n The second Team Mahomes cohort features Red Raider athletes from many of the school\u2019s top programs, including returning<\/a> members NiJaree Canady (Softball) and Sam Courtwright (Soccer), alongside Behren Morton (Football), Christian Anderson (Men\u2019s Basketball), and Malachi Snow (Track). The athletes met Mahomes earlier today and will be honored during the game. <\/p>\n “Team Mahomes is the result of a unique partnership between adidas and Patrick Mahomes that\u2019s elevating Texas Tech athletics, shaping the future of college sports and building on a lasting legacy for Mahomes in Lubbock and beyond,\u201d said Chris McGuire, Vice President of Sports Marketing, adidas North America. \u201cNiJaree, Behren, Malachi, Christian, and Sam are some of the nation\u2019s most impressive student-athletes, making them perfect additions to Team Mahomes and the adidas family.\u201d <\/p>\n Adding to the magnitude of the day for the three-time Super Bowl champion, Mahomes\u2019 second Gladiator uniform with Texas Tech will make its on-field debut as part of the stripe-out in The Jones. Still a rarity for an athlete\u2019s brand<\/a> to be used in on-field apparel, the \u201cToo Cold\u201d<\/a> uniforms point to adidas\u2019 commitment to driving the evolution of athlete-brand partnerships. In addition to it being worn on field in the season-shaping conference matchup, fans can buy the \u201cToo Cold\u201d uniform at adidas.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Patrick Mahomes’ impact on Texas Tech has been immeasurable. His ongoing investment in our athletes, notably through Team Mahomes, showcases his and adidas’ belief in and commitment to the future of Texas Tech athletics,\u201d said Kirby Hocutt, Texas Tech Athletics Director. \u201cIt\u2019s always great to have Patrick on campus, and we look forward to continuing to work together in what\u2019s a really unique and special relationship with adidas.” About adidas <\/p>\n adidas is a global leader in the sporting goods industry.
