Kristin Juszczyk was so busy creating custom garments in the run-up to the 49ers’ Super Bowl LVIII appearance that she had to turn down a high-profile request.
The fashion designer and wife of San Francisco fullback Kyle Juszczyk recently told Fox News Digital that she had to turn down a request from 49ers fan and current U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris due to staff shortages at the time.
“During the Super Bowl, I got a text from my agent and everything went crazy,” Juszczyk told Ryan Morik. “He said, ‘Hey, the vice president wants a jacket.’ I said, ‘What company?’ He said, ‘The country.'”
“Unfortunately, I had no help at the time and no opportunity to do more things. There was just no time. But that’s always a funny story that has stuck in my mind. I thought, ‘This is going to be crazy. I’ve got a request from the White House.'”
Juszczyk made a big splash in the fashion world with her custom designs, which were worn throughout the NFL, NCAA and NBA seasons by stars such as Taylor Swift, Caitlin Clark, Klay Thompson and more.
Her custom fits became so popular that she eventually received an exclusive NFL licensing deal.
Now that Juszczyk has more staff and more capacity, she could likely grant the current Democratic presidential candidate’s request should she approach her again this season.
