He's even had many people put in offers to buy the famous hot pink women's bathing suit and shoes he was wearing. He goes on to thank him for wearing those shoes during his streaking performance.Īndrade seems to have an opportunity to parlay his super bowl streaking fame into many opportunities. He posted a video on his Instagram page that received over 4.4 millions views, and claims his phone "blew up" right after the streakers performance. His Instagram following alone has increased by over 150,000 die-hard followers.Īdditionally, Andrade gained exposure for his footwear choice, as he donned a pair Under Armour's "Project Rock" shoes, which were immediately recognized, talked about, and reported to and mentioned by The Rock himself. In fact, his sponsor is envious of the amount of attention Andrade has attracted, not just immediately but with ongoing opportunities. While his sponsor received a wealth of exposure that translated to sales, the daring stunt also proved lucrative for Andrade.

Yet that's exactly what happened when Yuri Andrade, known as the 2021 "Super Bowl Streaker," took to the field, dressed in a hot pink women's bathing suit with a sponsors logo. Ultimately, it looks as though Andrade's plan to bet on himself won't end up in the big payday that he had hoped for, but it appears he came closer to success than many initially suspected.People tune into the Super Bowl not only for the game, but to be entertained by the commercials. ![]() Perez wrote that one bettor who said he had no prior knowledge of the stunt had already had his account shut down by Bovada.
