San Francisco might have missed out on clinching the Lombardi Trophy this year, but one 49ers player’s wife used the hype for a noble purpose. Kyle Juszczyk’s better half has created a niche of her own in the league, designing custom clothing for NFL games. Her latest item that grabbed eyeballs was the ever-famous Super Bowl puffer vest.
The black and silver vest had the number 58 on the front and back, along with subtle detailing referencing the Feb’s big game. Kristin had announced that the garment would be auctioned for charity, and the proceeds would go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Having commenced on Feb 10, the bidding has finally come to fruition, and a generous amount of $75,000 has been raised for the cause after a total of 124 bids.
Kristin took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone achievement, sharing photos from the event along with a heartfelt message. Sharing how she spent the “best” day with the Foundation, the 49ers supporter wrote, “We spent the day in support groups, doing wig makeovers, building hope kits, and learning all about how @nbcf helps thousands of women all over the country! Thank you for everyone who bid on my Super Bowl vest. This money is going to help so many amazing women in need.”

Clad in a white gown, Kristin looked radiant, holding the cheque worth $75k signed to the NBCF. In one of the photos, the wife of the fullback was seen posing with a wall installation on the wall, which bore a tribute to her late mother, having succumbed to breast cancer. It read, “In Loving Memory of Virginia Arceri.”

When Kyle Juszczyk joined the San Francisco 49ers in 2017, his wife Kristin faced a tough choice. The licensed real estate agent deliberated the career path she intended to follow, knowing she would be constantly on the move, being the wife of an NFL player. Ultimately, she decided to follow her passion and started a boutique of her own named, ‘Origin.’
When news of Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes wearing Kansas City Chiefs coats handmade by Kristin blew up, it opened up a shining business opportunity for the entrepreneur, after initially being a name behind Simone Biles’ enthralling outfits. Her fashion brand found a firm footing after scoring a licensing deal with the NFL. Since then, her apparel has been sported by stars like singer Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson.
