When the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 at Super Bowl 60, the biggest night in football had all the drama fans expected. The Seahawks, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, dominated all four quarters while kicker Jason Myers delivered a perfect 5-for-5 field goal performance.
But before the final whistle, on February 8, 2026, global superstar Bad Bunny took the stage at Levi’s Stadium for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Bunny, known for his bold style, appeared in an all-white outfit that caught everyone’s attention. The custom jersey sparked curiosity, as what seemed like a simple fashion choice held a far deeper, heartfelt reason.
Bad Bunny Opens Up About All-White Super Bowl Halftime Jersey Look
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, wore a cream-white football-style jersey from Zara during his halftime performance. The back read “OCASIO,” his mother’s family name. The number 64 appeared on the front and back.

In a statement shared by Complex on February 10, 2026, Bunny explained the meaning directly. “I always dreamed of taking my uncle to a Super Bowl one year, but I couldn’t,” hesaid.
His uncle, Tío Cutito passed away two years ago, shortly after the 49ers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. The unexpected death came without warning.
So Bunny made a different kind of promise. He brought him to the Super Bowl on his jersey instead. OCASIO is the last name he shares with his mother, and 64 marks Cutito’s birth year.
Cutito was his mother’s brother and a lifelong San Francisco 49ers fan who had introduced a young Bad Bunny to the NFL, a sport rarely followed in Puerto Rico.
He moved to the United States at 17 for work but returned home every January and February, right in time for NFL playoff season. Those visits gave a young Bad Bunny his only real connection to American football. “I always watched the games with him,” Bunny shared.
Performing at Levi’s Stadium, the 49ers’ home ground, made the tribute feel like fate. Bunny dedicated his show to Cutito before a single note played. “I am sure he saw it, he was present, and he felt proud of his nephew,” he said. He closed with a quiet wish: that the 49ers win a Super Bowl again someday.
The jersey tribute added deep personal weight to a night already full of history. As the first solo Latino artist to headline the halftime show, Bad Bunny performed primarily in Spanish to over 135 million viewers, joined by Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, and Karol G.
Meanwhile, on the field, Seattle’s defense had been equally dominant. The Seahawks recorded 6 sacks, forced 3 New England turnovers, and Uchenna Nwosu sealed the game with a 45-yard interception return touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Patriots managed all 13 of their points only in the final quarter, long after the outcome was decided.
Bad Bunny continues to stand at the top of global music following his Grammy Album of the Year win for DeBí TiRAR MáS FoToS in early 2026.
Both the Seahawks, now Super Bowl champions, and the Patriots, looking to rebuild around Drake Maye, will face off again in the 2026 NFL regular season opener this September.
