How to Wear a Texas Tech Throwback Red Jersey on Game Day and Beyond

Wear a Texas Tech Throwback Red jersey over a plain black, white or gray tee with jeans or shorts and simple sneakers, and add a neutral jacket or hoodie when the evening cools. Keeping everything else quiet lets the red and the name on the back do the talking, both at the stadium and around town.

Start with the base layer

What goes underneath sets the tone. A fitted crew-neck tee in black, white or heather gray is the safest bet. It keeps the collar area tidy and adds a thin layer between skin and jersey on warm days. Avoid busy graphic tees, since a print peeking out at the neckline fights with the jersey.

Game-day outfits

Warm afternoon kickoff

• Jersey over a light tee, or worn on its own.
• Khaki or denim shorts.
• Low-top sneakers in white or black.
• A cap and sunglasses for the stands.

Cool night game

• A long-sleeve tee or thin thermal under the jersey.
• Dark jeans or joggers.
• A black or gray zip hoodie worn open, so the front of the jersey still shows.
• Comfortable boots or high-tops if you will be standing a while.

Cold-weather watch party

Layer the jersey over a hoodie for a bulkier, relaxed look. If you plan to do this often, check the size options on the product page and consider whether you need room for the extra layer.

Around-town outfits

A throwback jersey does not have to stay in the stadium.

• Casual errands: jersey, slim jeans, clean sneakers. Roll the sleeves once if they feel long.
• Weekend lunch: jersey over a white tee, chinos, a denim or canvas jacket.
• Tailgate prep runs: jersey, joggers, a cap, and a backpack for supplies.

Tucking the front hem slightly into your waistband (a half-tuck) gives a cleaner outline when you are not in a crowd of fans.

Picking the jersey for your style

The Throwback Red group gives you a mix of names. The Tahj Brooks #28 Throwback Red jersey is one option, alongside a Tyler Shough #12 Throwback Red listing, a Jerand Bradley #9 Throwback Red listing, a Jaylon Hutchings #95 Throwback Red listing and an Austin McNamara #31 Throwback Red listing. Fans who prefer no name can look at the Texas Tech Red Raiders #23 Throwback Red listing. A custom throwback red version is there if you want your own lettering.

If you want a white option for contrast with dark pants, the Independence Bowl Patch 2023 listings come in both red and white.

Colors that pair well with red

• Black: the easiest match for a red top.
• Gray: softer than black and good for daytime.
• White: crisp under the jersey or as sneakers.
• Denim blue: a classic everyday partner for a red top.

Skip other bright colors; they compete with the red.

A season worth celebrating

There is plenty of reason to wear one this year. As reported by texastech.com, Texas Tech won the 2025 Big 12 Championship over BYU, 34-7, finished the regular season 12-1 and headed to the Capital One Orange Bowl on Jan. 1 at Hard Rock Stadium as the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff.

Keeping it game-ready

• Follow the care label every time you wash it.
• Hang it on a wide hanger to keep the shoulders in shape.
• Let it air out after a long day before putting it away.
