Bad Bunny's Super Bowl jersey, featuring the number '64', holds a poignant meaning behind the Puerto Rican superstar's halftime show performance. According to the artist, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, the year 1964 is a tribute to his late uncle, "Cutito", who left an indelible mark on his life.
Growing up, Bunny was introduced to American football by his uncle, a self-taught enthusiast from Puerto Rico. The two would spend countless hours watching NFL games together at Levi's Stadium in California, where Super Bowl LX took place last year. Cutito was a San Francisco 49ers fan and, regrettably, passed away two years ago during the same Super Bowl year.
Bunny recently opened up about his inspiration behind incorporating his uncle's name and birth year onto his jersey for the recent performance. "What little I know about the NFL is thanks to him," he expressed in a statement to Rolling Stone. The gesture served as a heartfelt tribute, with Bunny dedicating his halftime show to Cutito before it began.
By wearing his uncle's name and birth year on his jersey, Bunny aimed to share Cutito's presence at the event, which undoubtedly brought solace to the artist. "He was there, he saw it, and he was proud of his nephew," Bunny reflected.
As a nod to his heritage and family, Bad Bunny seamlessly wove together elements of Latin culture with American football, redefining the boundaries of the Super Bowl experience.

I'm low-key obsessed with how Bad Bunny incorporated his late uncle's name and birth year onto his Super Bowl jersey 
! It's such a beautiful tribute to Cutito, who played a huge role in introducing Benito to American football 
. Wearing his uncle's legacy on his sleeve (literally 
) was an amazing way for Bad Bunny to honor his heritage and share the love with his fans 
. Plus, it added this extra layer of meaning to his performance – it wasn't just a show, but also a celebration of family and culture 
! What's even more heartwarming is that Benito said Cutito was "there, he saw it, and he was proud" 
. That gives me all the feels 
! Did you know that 1964 is also a big year for the NYC baseball team, the Mets? They won their first World Series title in '64 
. Anyway, back to BB... his halftime show was 
! The stats on football jerseys are crazy - did you know 75% of NFL players wear jerseys with numbers between 1-99 
. But what's even more interesting is the emotional connection we make with sports and our personal histories 
I think it's really cool how Bad Bunny paid tribute to his uncle by incorporating '64 into his jersey 
The way he shared that story about growing up watching NFL games with his uncle is super touching 
It's amazing how that one gesture can bring so much comfort and pride to his fans - it's all about the love for family, heritage, and sports 
. It's great that he got to share some of his childhood memories with us all through music and performance. The fact that it was at the Super Bowl, one of the biggest sporting events in the world, made it even more special I guess. Its also pretty inspiring that he wanted to bring a bit of Puerto Rican culture into the mix, but still make it work with American football.
... but it's amazing how his memory lives on through Bad Bunny 
. The way he merged Latin culture with American football was indeed super cool 
so bad bunny wore 1964 on his super bowl jersey as a tribute to his late uncle cutito who was a huge nfl fan 
the way he wove in latin culture with american football is totally fire 
... but what's even more dope is that it brought solace to bad bunny himself, knowing his uncle was there watching him perform 
so bad bunny wore super bowl jersey with 64 on it and its actually a tribute to his late uncle cutito who introduced him to american football 
! bad bunny is literally the most talented artist right now, but what's even more impressive is how he uses his platform to honor his uncle like this 
. I think this is a great example of how art can be used as a way to honor loved ones who have passed away 
. Plus, it's awesome to see Bad Bunny blending Latin culture with American football in such a unique and creative way 
but I just found out about Bad Bunny's halftime show and it sounds like such a beautiful tribute to his uncle Cutito 
. It's a great example of how art can be used to pay tribute and share a piece of ourselves with others
