Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens (Instagram)
Simone Biles showed up to Lucas Oil Stadium on August 22 looking every bit like someone settling into a new city. 36 pants paired with a cropped white fur jacket, delivering a supermodel-worthy spin on the Soldier Field sideline. In a get-ready-with-me video posted on August 25, Biles addressed the missing custom piece directly.
There were custom jeans with “Jonathan” written in sequin lettering down one leg and “Owens” down the other. “Sorry to disappoint, I didn’t get anything custom-made for this game because Jonathan was still deciding between numbers,” she said. For the Colts’ second preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, she went all-black — a cropped Colts tank top, oversized cargo pants, flat shoes and a quilted Chanel bag — and the contrast with her Bears era was immediate. In Chicago, she built a reputation around personalized pieces that made sidelines feel like runways. In Indianapolis, at least for now, the approach is deliberately different. What fans noticed right away was the absence of anything custom. During two seasons in Chicago, Biles had turned personalized game-day fashion into its own genre. By the final weeks of the regular season, she was wearing custom red No. The jersey number debate had apparently dragged close enough to game week that commissioning a personalized piece simply wasn’t practical. The streetwear-leaning look she chose for the Falcons game felt less like a style reset and more like a placeholder — practical, clean, and still distinctly hers. The Colts faithful will almost certainly see the full Simone Biles treatment once the regular season kicks off.
