According to a league source who spoke to UPI on Tuesday, the NFL has reached a license agreement with Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who created fashionable garments by hand for Taylor Swift and other celebrities.
The agreement gives Juszczyk permission to utilize NFL emblems on men’s and women’s clothing, however no financial details were made public. That clearance is given less than two weeks before Super Bowl LVIII between the 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Recently, pictures of celebrities sporting the personalized clothing have gone viral. Taylor Lautner, Simone Biles, and Swift have all been spotted wearing it at games.
Additionally, Juszczyk has shared behind-the-scenes photos of herself creating the ensembles on social media. Five years ago, she began making the clothes for game day.
Juszczyk said to KRON-Ch. 4 earlier this month, “I try to take silhouettes and shapes of things I would wear in my everyday life.” “As if I were heading out to dinner or out with friends. I consider how I could incorporate this form into athletic clothing.
Earlier in the season, Biles wore a puffer vest with her husband Jonathan Owens’ jersey numbers sewn on the front and back.
Last weekend, Juszczyk also made a puffer vest for 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who wore quarterback Brock Purdy’s jersey patches on his distinctive ensemble during the game.
Eight-time All-Pro and eleven-year NFL veteran Kyle Juszczyk has backed his wife’s endeavors. Earlier last month, he responded to numerous followers on Twitter by identifying the creators of the popular ensembles.
Januszczyk told reporters earlier this month, “It’s pure joy to see her get that recognition.” “She’s been working hard for years. She’s been putting in a lot of work. I’m so glad to see her put her stuff out there, get seen, and have it acknowledged as her own.
She presumably spent 20 hours apiece making some of those jackets. Sometimes she’s still working when I wake up at three or four in the morning. She has been working so hard, and I’m glad it’s paying off.”
Juszczyk claimed that during talks, “every option was on the table” and that other corporations had contacted his wife regarding the clothing.
The 49ers and the talented fullback will take on the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on February 11 at 6:30 p.m. EST. CBS will carry the game.
