Did Nike Just Troll Texas Tech’s Own Patrick Mahomes? Sure Looks Like It!

Alright, Red Raider Nation, let’s talk about what might be one of the biggest troll moves in Super Bowl history—and it didn’t even happen on the field. Nike just released an ad celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles’ championship win, but the real story here isn’t the ad itself. It’s the song choice that has people talking!

Nike set the ad to "It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green"—yes, the Kermit the Frog classic.

If you know anything about Patrick Mahomes, you already see the problem.

The Kermit Connection

For years, Mahomes has been trolled for sounding like Kermit, and the internet never lets it go. It’s one of those things that’s not entirely fair but undeniably hilarious. The man has three Super Bowl rings, and yet people still talk about his voice. I mean, ya gotta find SOMETHING to make fun of the guy for, right?!?

But Nike choosing a Kermit song immediately after the Super Bowl felt just a little too perfect.

Here's the ad:

A Not-So-Subtle Adidas Snub?

Here’s the kicker—Mahomes isn’t even a Nike athlete. He’s signed with Adidas, Nike’s biggest competitor. So this wasn’t just a well-timed coincidence—this was a precision strike-level troll job.

Nike’s caption on the ad? “It’s Good to Be Green.”

So let’s break it down:
✔️ Kermit the Frog song? Check.
✔️ Celebrating a Super Bowl team that Mahomes didn’t play for? Check.
✔️ Doing it to a guy signed with Adidas? Double check.

Texas Tech Fans React

Look, we love Mahomes around here. He’s a Texas Tech legend, a Super Bowl MVP, and an NFL icon. If you drive through Lubbock, you’ll see Mahomes jerseys everywhere.

So while some fans found Nike’s move hilarious, others were less amused, calling it disrespectful. But let’s be real—Mahomes is too busy to care.

Was Nike just having fun, or was this a masterclass in corporate trolling? What do y’all think?
