Adidas & Patrick Mahomes expand NIL programme with Texas Tech athletes
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’s inaugural year as an adidas school, Mahomes is bringing fresh energy to what’s already shaping up to be a landmark year for Texas Tech Athletics.
Adidas and Patrick Mahomes announced the second Team Mahomes NIL cohort of Texas Tech student-athletes in Lubbock, coinciding with the debut of the “Too Cold” uniform featuring Mahomes’ Gladiator logo.
The programme supports athlete development on and off the field, reinforcing Mahomes’ continued commitment to his alma mater and Adidas’ evolving role in athlete-brand partnerships.
“Texas Tech will always be home for me, so I’m proud to give back to the school and community who helped shape me on and off the field,” said Patrick Mahomes. “As the partnership with adidas continues to evolve and expand, we’re redefining not just the future of Red Raider sports, but college athletics more widely.”
The second Team Mahomes cohort features Red Raider athletes from many of the school’s top programs, including returning members NiJaree Canady (Softball) and Sam Courtwright (Soccer), alongside Behren Morton (Football), Christian Anderson (Men’s Basketball), and Malachi Snow (Track). The athletes met Mahomes earlier today and will be honored during the game.
“Team Mahomes is the result of a unique partnership between adidas and Patrick Mahomes that’s elevating Texas Tech athletics, shaping the future of college sports and building on a lasting legacy for Mahomes in Lubbock and beyond,” said Chris McGuire, Vice President of Sports Marketing, adidas North America. “NiJaree, Behren, Malachi, Christian, and Sam are some of the nation’s most impressive student-athletes, making them perfect additions to Team Mahomes and the adidas family.”
Adding to the magnitude of the day for the three-time Super Bowl champion, Mahomes’ 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’s brand to be used in on-field apparel, the “Too Cold” uniforms point to adidas’ 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 “Too Cold” uniform at adidas.com.
“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,” said Kirby Hocutt, Texas Tech Athletics Director. “It’s always great to have Patrick on campus, and we look forward to continuing to work together in what’s a really unique and special relationship with adidas.”

M&S continues to expand its ‘Brands at M&S’ portfolio and Hugo Boss is the latest big name to sign up, starting with a collection of men’s premium underwear, loungewear, vests and tees.
The retailer’s research shows that male shoppers across all age groups rank ‘a wide range of brands’ among their top priorities when shopping, “with this factor particularly important for the 18-34 and 35-54 cohorts – key demographics for M&S”.
Stephanie Macleod, head of category for Third Party Brands at the business, said Hugo Boss’s arrival and generally growing portfolio “complements our strong own-brand proposition and reinforces our ambition to make M&S more relevant, more often”.
It also supports M&S’s deeper focus on menswear and the category’s director at the retailer, Mitch Hughes, added: “We’re serious about growing menswear and being the go-to destination for men with a stylish, relevant and reliable offer. Having a credible branded offer alongside a confident own-brand proposition is central to our strategy to deliver choice and style, quality & value in one trusted destination.”
In August, the company launched M&S Man – a channel dedicated to men’s style. That came on the back of social media now being the number one influence on men aged 18-34 when buying clothing and footwear and over 60% of all male consumers prefer to browse and shop online.
M&S is the market-leader in men’s underwear with one in five men purchasing their underwear from it. Other brands on the platform include Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, that offer underwear and loungewear.
Meanwhile, Swedish sustain-tech company Circulose has announced a partnership with M&S, which becomes the first UK brand to join it as a Scaling Partner.
The retailer will integrate a significant volume of Circulose into its collections, “helping drive broader adoption of next-generation circular materials across the industry”.
Circulose is made entirely from textile waste and its use helps fashion brands reduce their dependence on virgin fibres derived from trees. It also helps reduce emissions.
Katharine Beacham, head of materials and Sustainability at M&S, said: “Partnering with Circulose allows us to put the concept of circular design into action and will be an example of how the industry can move from small-scale pilots to incorporating next-generation materials at a greater scale. By integrating circular materials into our sourcing strategy, we will be… helping to build a fashion industry that’s fit for the future.”

Paul Smith has unveiled its Christmas campaign, called ‘Night to Day’, starring American actor Walton Goggins. He’s described as “a close friend of the company and Sir Paul personally for many years [who] perfectly embodies the character of the Paul Smith brand”.
The “playful” campaign follows Goggins on a festive journey through London’s Covent Garden — close to the brand’s flagship store on Floral Street. That was the very first Paul Smith shop that opened in the late 1970s so is hugely important to the brand, as well as Covent Garden being “a historical and cultural hub that celebrates the arts”.
The campaign aims to capture “the creative spirit of London” and starts with a night at the theatre followed by a day of “embracing the unexpected”. It highlights how the Paul Smith wardrobe “caters to contemporary needs — from tailoring and eveningwear to a Signature Stripe dressing gown — the collection is inspired by curiosity and the joy of everyday life”.
Focusing on “Smithy ways to style the eveningwear collection, the campaign offers a fresh take on the holiday etiquette”. The company said a “whimsical highlight is an often-overlooked festive period, ‘Betwixtmas’ – the time between Christmas and New Year, which captures Walton kicking back in the Sir Paul Smith suite in Brown’s Hotel”.
It continues to follow Walton’s journey in the Covent Garden area into the next day. This offers a glimpse of the SS26 collection that will be available early next year and that “introduces new cuts and vibrant colourways while still keeping the spirit of discovery and adventure at its core”.
It’s part of a wider festive initiative “dedicated to supporting the cultural landscape of Covent Garden”. Most significantly, this is the previously announced creative partnership between Paul Smith and The Royal Ballet and Opera House that “aims to set new standards for creative engagement between design and the arts”.
