One of the best things about the Super Bowl LIII halftime show was everyone making fun of Maroon 5, but one particular reason proved closer to home than others.

Frontman Adam Levine donned a patterned tank top for the performance on Sunday, and before he took it off mid-performance (a nipple-baring move that didn't get him in trouble unlike Janet Jackson), some noticed they'd seen this pattern before.

Twitter user Morgan Jordal‏ posted an image of Levine's singlet side-by-side with some "70s home decor." It's pretty spot on.

Soon enough, others noticed the pattern in armchairs, throw pillows, and curtains.

Pretty close. Levine didn't wear the couch pillow patterned singlet for long though, removing it during the set with the ease and privilege lended to someone who isn't going to be blacklisted by the NFL for getting one's nipples out. Lucky for him.
