In this unveiling, the Red Raiders have been outfitted with two helmets (black and white), and three different pants/jerseys (red, black and white), which can be worn interchangeably.

The black helmets have a thin red/thick white/thin red stripe, while the white helmets will have a thin red/thick black/thin red stripe pattern. Both helmets will have the classic double-stacked T logos on the side.

Perhaps amazingly, given the current trend in football design towards minimalism, both the jerseys and pants will have stripes. Let’s look at the different color shirts/pants:

WHITE

The white jerseys have two thick black stripes on the shoulder caps, with two thin red stripes bordering the black. A large, bold “TEXAS TECH” adorns the front of the jersey, rendered in black and with a thin red border. Likewise, the numbers will be block black, also with a red outline. A smaller double-stacked T logo is at the base of the collar.

The pants have the same stripe pattern as the sleeve caps (black with thin red stripes), and the front jersey numbers are huge.

RED

The red jerseys follow the exact same pattern as the white, save for the colors. Wordmark and numbers are white, outline in black, and the same pattern (thin black/thick white/thin red) is the sleeve stripe pattern.

Perhaps tellingly (or maybe not), this uniform is shown with the current Big XII logo (whereas BYU and Iowa State recently unveiled uniforms without the Big XII patch). This comes in the wake of the news that the Big XII is considering selling out to an advertiser.

Unfortunately, neither the video nor the stills have shown the back of the jerseys, save for one split-second look in the video. The freeze frame reveals what we probably already knew. The outlining pattern on the numbers is the same as the front of the jersey. NOB is a block white font. And the numbers, like on the front, are huge.

We can probably safely assume the black and white jerseys will have the same treatment as the red.

BLACK

The black jerseys and pants also follow the same striping/color patterns as the white and red uniforms, only with thick white/thin red coloring.

These uniforms definitely have a fauxback look. Over the years, TTech have worn various different throwbacks which had stripes, so this is a welcome development.

I love stripes on football uniforms — and even moreso uniforms that have the same patterns throughout, so they can be freely mixed and matched. All three colors (black, white and red) were shown as mono-looks (including matching color socks), so they still have that as an option, but they also showed mix/match, which — IMO — are much better options.

I’m very excited to see these on the field (hopefully in the mix/match variety, not so much the solid color look). But even if the go mono-, the stripes will greatly help to break up the mono-tony!
