The Patriots Who? Johnny Weir’s Pre-Game Outfit Won the Super Bowl

Coatesville Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir and Philly native Tara Lipinski kicked off the Super Bowl last night as hosts of NBC’s pre-game show. As always Weir didn’t disappoint when it came to his overall flair and choice of costume, which manifested itself in the shape of some futuristic, Star Wars captain getup topped with a glittery football hat. The world loved and tweeted about it:
