Meaning Behind Bad Bunny's Halftime Show Football Jersey Revealed

Bad Bunny entertained millions with his performance at halftime of Super Bowl LX Sunday night, paying homage to Latino culture and sending a message of love while also offering plenty of societal commentary through symbolism. There were also countless celebrity cameos during the 13-minute plus set.

Throughout the show, Bad Bunny wore an all-cream outfit that included a football jersey with the No. 64 and his last name "Ocasio" on the back. The top was meant to pay tribute to the 31-year-old artist's family.

Bad Bunny's No. 64 jersey, explained

In a tweet Monday morning, longtime NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy confirmed that Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, wore No. 64 as a nod to his uncle who was a football player.

"Bad Bunny paid homage to his uncle who played football by wearing his #64," McCarthy explained. "And thanks to his desire to use an old NFL ball that had white stripes, I learned from @ProFootballHOF that when the white ball was banned in ‘56, a ball w/ stripes was used for night games until ‘76."

The full video of Bad Bunny's entire performance has been viewed nearly 14 million times on YouTube as of 10 a.m. ET Monday. Early indications signal it may have been the most watched Super Bowl halftime show of all-time.
