San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk is a pretty proud husband these days.
His wife, Kristin, has taken the NFL fashion scene by storm with her custom-made specialty gameday attire that was worn by Taylor Swift and by “Twilight” movie series star Taylor Lautner this weekend.
The jackets that Swift, a new Chiefs fan since beginning her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce, and Lautner — having threads with Aidan Hutchinson’s name — wore during NFL playoff games went viral and drew heaps of praise.
Swift’s jacket that had Kelce’s name and number drew the most attention, and Juszczyk said Tuesday that he and his wife found out the same way everyone around the world did that Swift would be wearing the jacket on Saturday night.
“We saw it the same time everybody else did,” he said, per NBC Sports Bay Area. “She came out in the golf cart with the jacket on, and we were fired up.”
The Niners player made sure that his wife was the one who got the credit after he heard the announcers mention Nike when they showed clips of the pop icon arriving in the getup.
Juszczyk also made sure to point out on social media that Kristin had been the one to make it.
“It was super important because I’m so proud of her,” he explained. “And she’s extremely talented, and the things she’s putting out there are one of a kind. I wanted to make sure she got that credit.
“At first the announcers were, ‘Hey, Taylor Swift can get Nike to do anything.’ Ah, come on. We got to let these people know it was all Kristin. That was all her, so I was happy to see her get that credit.
Gymnastics star Simone Biles has also worn attire — with husband Jonathan Owens’ Packers jersey -turned into a stylish jacket — designed by Kristin Juszczyk that has garnered attention this year.
But it was Lautner’s jacket that was the biggest odyssey to get to him.
The actor had reached out to see if he could get it delivered to him before the wild card round game on Sunday between the Lions and Rams.
“It was supposed to get there the day before, but it got stuck in Memphis [due to inclement weather],” the 49er said. “Somehow she got ahold of the owner of FedEx and spoke with his son, and he said it was their mission to get that package to [Lautner].
“They sent a truck to get it picked up in Memphis, and the truck broke down. They sent another truck. And they literally got it delivered on the sideline. So shout-out to FedEx.”
