Kristin Juszczyk was the biggest winner of the NFL playoffs’ opening weekend.
The NFL currently is engaged in discussions with Juszczyk to turn her innovative designs into official league merchandise, Sportico’s Asli Pelit reported Friday.
“We have known about Kristin and her work for some time now and had an ongoing dialogue with her,” an NFL spokesperson told Sportico. “We’re continuing to explore opportunities to work together.”
The fashion designer and the wife of 49ers All-Pro fullback Kyle Juszczyk made waves last weekend when international icon Taylor Swift sported one of Juszczyk’s creations while attending the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium.
The custom Travis Kelce jacket Juszczyk created for Swift not only caught the eye of the 12-time Grammy Award winners’ fans — Juszczyk gained over 500,000 Instagram followers since the popstar wore her creation last Saturday –but also got the NFL’s attention.
Swift wasn’t the only celebrity to sport a Kristin Juszczyk creation last weekend, as actor and Lions fan Taylor Lautner wore a custom Aidan Hutchinson jacket made by the fashion designer after it was hand-delivered to the movie star on the Ford Field sideline during Detroit’s 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
It appears that soon the 49ers’ dynamic offensive weapon won’t be the only NFL mainstay in the Juszczyk household.
