Fresh off a Week 1 win in his return to NFL action following a torn ACL and LCL, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is putting his fingerprints on college football as well.
On Friday night, Mahomes' alma mater, Texas Tech, will don its "Let's Ride" uniforms against Houston, with the threads created in collaboration with the superstar quarterback. The uniforms are all black with bright red accents, and Mahomes' gladiator logo is featured prominently underneath the left shoulder.
The Red Raiders also announced in the buildup to the game that the uniforms would be gaining an additional Mahomes-themed sponsor: State Farm. A patch will be located just above Mahomes' personal logo, a fitting location given the quarterback's endorsements with the company.

Texas Tech isn't the only squad pulling out slick threads this weekend. Here are the top uniforms from around college football's Week 3.
Missouri
Following a rivalry win over Kansas for a 2-0 start on the young season, the Tigers are going throwback mode for their matchup with Troy.
With the game against the Trojans marking a celebration of Mizzou's Memorial Stadium's 100th anniversary, Missouri is wearing a fitting uniform for the occasion. The vintage look blends a number of nods to different eras of Tigers football into one final product, with highlights including a simplified block white "M" logo for the helmets and jersey and black, gold and white sleeve stripes honoring the 1970s.
Honoring Legacy on September 19th 🐅

Boise State
Boise is going with a blue-on-white combo this Saturday, but the real gem of the uniform is its distinct helmet.
The lids feature a logo unique from the school's traditional bronco emblem -- swapping the plain stallion design for a pair of concentric circles, one blue, one orange, with a bronco illustration in the middle and the school's name and mascot ringing the outside circle. The line "Front Porch of Idaho" is emblazoned on the back of the helmet.

San Diego State
It's now the Age of the Jaguar in San Diego, at least as far as San Diego State's new-look uniforms are concerned.
The all-red threads and black helmet contain a number of interesting elements that pay homage to the school's Aztec mascot -- the jaguar is associated with power and valor in Aztec lore. The jersey sleeves and pant sides contain a distinctive pattern, while the helmet features a jaguar head emblem.

Houston
Texas Tech won't be the only school stepping onto the field in Lubbock wearing heat. Houston will be donning a nice set of threads itself.
Contrasting the Red Raiders all-black look will be the Cougars' icy-white uniforms: white helmet, white jersey, white pants. Houston's look boasts eye-catching red accents as well, with an italicized "Houston" word mark front and center on the jersey.

Baylor
The best uniforms are often the most meaningful ones, and such is the case for Baylor's look this weekend.
The Bears' gold threads and green helmet are traditional enough, but it's the design on the lids that stands out. Instead of an interlocking "BU" logo, the helmets are adorned with a multicolored bear with "faith," "victory," "strength" and "helmet of hope" written inside the bear's outline.
The design was created by 6-year-old IlLaria Ramirez during a team visit to McLane Children's Medical Center. Baylor's contest against Louisiana Tech is its Childhood Cancer Awareness game.
