Indianapolis is hosting an exciting sports weekend, featuring the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday and Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals with the Indiana Pacers also set for that day. Amid these major events, the Indiana Fever took the spotlight on Saturday as they welcomed the defending WNBA champions, the New York Liberty.
Lexie Hull Honors Race Weekend with Stylish Jacket
Fever guard Lexie Hull drew attention by wearing a standout Indianapolis 500 jacket as she arrived at the game. WNBA players’ pre-game fashion choices often spark conversation, and Hull’s jacket paid tribute to the iconic motorsport event happening in town. The jacket has become highly sought after at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, adding to its appeal.
The Popularity of the Indianapolis 500 Jacket
The jacket’s popularity was further highlighted last week when Arrow McLaren driver Pato O’Ward noticed Associated Press motorsports writer Jenna Fryer wearing the same style. O’Ward requested to visit the merch tent to purchase one himself, signaling how the jacket has become a must-have item for fans and participants alike.
“Cool of Pato to pay for his jacket, because I feel like they probably would have let him one for free. If he wins on Sunday, then he definitely won’t need to pay for Indianapolis 500 merchandise ever again,”
noted observers on the jacket’s significance.
