Simone Biles wears a Packers-themed Jonathan Owens jacket to Bears preseason game in Chicago
Simone Biles will need a new jacket for the NFL season.
Last season, the gymnastics icon's game day fits were legendary as she supported her husband Jonathan Owens on the Green Bay Packers.
Owens is now in Chicago with the Bears, the Packers' longest rival, but Biles apparently hasn't updated her wardrobe yet.
That was apparent when she sported an Owens-themed Packers jacket in enemy territory on Saturday.
She’s obviously supporting her husband Jonathan Owens and she’s one of the greatest Olympians so she gets a pass…but it’s still one of the oldest rivalries in all of football & she’s rocking #GoPackGo logos lol

Simone Biles at the Bears preseason game
Fresh off her gold-medal performances at the Olympics, Biles was in Chicago for the Bears' second preseason game at Soldier Field.
Biles, wearing a walking boot for a calf injury suffered at the Olympics, came out of the tunnel pregame and spent time on the sideline.
"What's up, Chicago?" Biles said in a video clip on the NFL's X account. "Go Bears."

Social media reacts to Simone Biles wearing a Packers-themed Jonathan Owens jacket at Bears game
Bears fans on social media quickly noticed Biles' jacket.
While it was filled with photos of Owens, they were photos of Owens as a Packer, with a Packers logo prominent on one shoulder. There's just one problem with that: Owens signed with the Bears as a free agent this offseason.
To be fair, Biles has been pretty busy of late, winning three gold medals and a silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics in recent weeks.

We're sure by the time the regular season comes around the most-decorated gymnast in the history of the sport will realize that anything green and gold isn't allowed inside Soldier Field.
Bears Twitter, nonetheless, had thoughts on Biles' choice of attire:
Simone Biles should be stripped of all her medals after wearing Packers gear while cheering for the Bears. Yeah yeah I get it, her husband played for the packers and it’s an Owens themed jacket, but this is just wrong. pic.twitter.com/2mAh0ZNIDa

Packers fans loved having Biles as a member of the family last season. And that feeling was mutual.
"Thank you Green Bay for the hospitality," Biles wrote on Instagram after the 2023 season. "We truly enjoyed our time out here. Thanks to the Packer family for making it home away from home! So blessed to be apart of a season so special!"
Wisconsinites will get to show their appreciation for Biles when she comes to Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Sept. 28 as part of the Gold Over America Tour, a gymnastics spectacle.
