Peyton Manning showed up to the College World Series in Omaha wearing a hat featuring the name of the city.
Apart from representing the city that he was in, the former NFL quarterback also paid homage to his infamous call on the football field. Manning was known for shouting “Omaha!” during audibles before plays.
The ESPN announcers for the Notre Dame vs. Texas game–Mike Monaco, Chris Burke and Kyle Peterson–noted during the broadcast that the only person who could pull off wearing an “Omaha” hat would be Manning himself.
Manning has no formal relation to the city: he’s from New Orleans, played college football at Tennessee and played NFL in Indianapolis and Denver.
