In a move that left NFL fans clutching their pearls and raising their eyebrows (and possibly their nachos), Simone Biles, the legendary gymnast known for flipping and twisting her way to gold medals, accidentally executed what can only be described as a “wardrobe fumble” while supporting her husband, Jonathan Owens, at a preseason game on Saturday (August 17).
Picture this: the 27-year-old Olympian, who’s used to sticking perfect landings, showed up to cheer on her hubby, who’s now a safety for the Chicago Bears. The game was against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it wasn’t the Bengals who stole the show—it was Simone’s choice of outerwear. Yes, we’re talking about a jacket that caused more buzz than a broken vending machine in a football stadium.
So, what’s the big deal? Well, this jacket wasn’t just any jacket. It was adorned with images of Jonathan Owens doing what he does best—playing football. But there was a catch (and no, it wasn’t a touchdown). In these pictures, Jonathan was decked out in his old Packers uniform, complete with the iconic green and gold logo. Cue the dramatic music.
For those who skipped “Football 101,” let me break it down: the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers are like cats and dogs, oil and water, pineapple on pizza—you get the idea. Their rivalry is the stuff of legends. So when Bears fans caught a glimpse of Simone rocking Packers gear at Soldier Field, well, let’s just say the internet did what the internet does best—lose its collective mind.
“Simone Biles wearing a Packers jacket to Soldier Field!?! LMAOOOOO,” one fan cackled on X (formerly known as Twitter, but let’s be real, it’ll always be Twitter in our hearts). “This season of the greatest sitcom to ever grace television, The Bears, already off to one hilarious start.”
But before you grab your popcorn and settle in for a season of football drama, let’s give Simone a break. Some fans, possibly the ones with a sense of humor still intact, were quick to point out that the jacket was a custom piece from Jonathan’s days with the Packers. In other words, it was a throwback, not a throw shade.
So, while Simone may have accidentally stirred up some good-natured ribbing among Bears fans, we’re pretty sure she’s sticking the landing where it counts—supporting her husband, Packers jacket and all. Besides, if there’s anyone who can defy the laws of gravity (and NFL fashion faux pas), it’s Simone Biles.
