The online sphere has been raving over a resourcefully creative Travis Kelce-themed jacket donned by pop sensation Taylor Swift, skillfully crafted by Kristin Juszczyk, a fashion designer and wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

Swift wore the jacket during the Chiefs' Wild Card game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, January 13. It was certainly helpful in keeping the 12-time Grammy Award winner warm, as it was one of the coldest NFL games ever played.

Kristin demonstrated the comprehensive process of crafting the jacket via a TikTok video, which included carefully cutting existing NFL jerseys, designing the pattern, personally adding the padding, and skillfully sewing it together.

Notably, besides Swift, Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, also confidently wore a similar jacket adorned with the signal-caller's name, crafted by Kristin as well.

A day later, actor Taylor Lautner was spotted donning a comparable jacket showcasing Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson's name during their Wild Card game at Ford Field on Sunday, January 16.

Kristin had previously crafted a vest for 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, uniquely designed with a "Brock Purdy for MVP" theme. Her journey into fashion design began with crafting her own Halloween costumes. 

She previously ran an online fashion retailer called "The Origin Shop," but the store's website is inactive as of 2024, and their last Instagram post dates back to December 2021.

In just four days, Kristin Juszczyk's Instagram followers increased by nearly 400,000, surpassing the number of followers gained over the same period of any NFL player, thanks to celebrities like Swift, Brittany Mahomes, and Lautner sporting her NFL jersey jackets.

Kyle Juszczyk is proud of his wife

The 32-year-old fullback could not be prouder of his wife. He proudly expressed his admiration on social media, commenting on numerous tweets that reported on Swift's jacket, ensuring that her name and contributions were showcased prominently. 

"Just pure joy just to see her get that recognition. She's been grinding for years now. She's been working so hard. So, so happy to see her get her stuff out there, everybody see it, and people recognize that it was hers," Kyle said during a 49ers team practice on Tuesday, January 16.

The 2023 First Team All-Pro member enthusiastically praised his wife and her craftsmanship, emphasizing that certain jackets demanded up to 20 hours of meticulous work. He recounted waking up at three or four in the morning only to find her diligently working downstairs.

Kristin Juszczyk and Kyle Juszczyk's relationship

Kristin, a Towson University graduate, initially worked as a local realtor in Baltimore. During this time, she crossed paths with Kyle, who was playing for the Ravens.

Their Instagram debut followed a year later, marked by a post from a couples' getaway in Boston in January 2015.

Kyle moved to the 49ers in March 2017 via free agency, and the couple became engaged in May 2017. Kyle and Kristin exchanged vows in upstate New York in July 2019. Various 49ers stars like Matt Breida and Jerick McKinnon attended the wedding.
