The have not even played in the 2023-24 NFL Playoffs yet, but one key San Francisco players wife was the talk of the NFL during the wild-card round thanks to her incredible clothing design skills and a big a sist from none other than Taylor Swift.Before last weekend, NFL circles were already familiar with how Kristin Juszczyk, wife of 49ers fullback , would make stylish custom Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey NFL gear for herself and other NFL family members.Kristin Juszczyk has been making custom designs for several years, starting with Halloween costumes and growing to outfits she has worn to her husbands games.During the regular season, she made a custom -style jacket for the safetys wife, Olymic gold medalist and U.S. gymnastics icon Simone Biles, as well as a jacket for Mahomes wife Brittany.ADVERTISEMENT Kristin had even did a special project for two of her husbands 49ers teammates, designing a MVP-themed puffer vest that wore to San Franciscos Week 17 game against the Washington Commanders.Shes the truth, Samuel later said of Kristin and her handiwork.But Kristin and her custom jackets were really put on the map Saturday when it was revealed she designed one for the significant other of Mahomes star teammate Taylor Swift.The music megastars jacket immediately went viral as she wore it upon her arrival to the Chiefs game against the on Saturday. Brittany also wore a matching jacket themed after Patrick.Soon after, Kristin posted a video confirming she had made Swifts Kelce-themed jacket.An honor of a lifetime!!!!! Kristin captioned the video on Instagram.Meanwhile, an excited Kyle was much more active on Twitter, responding to several posts about Swifts jacket to confirm his wife had made it.Just happine s, Kyle Juszczyk said Tuesday about his reaction to seeing one of the worlds most recognized celebrities wearing something his wife designed.Just appreciation. Just so stoked for her because I know how hard shes worked, how hard she grinded. To see Taylor wearing it and it looked incredible. It was just awesome. We were just so happy in our house.But Kristins big weekend was not done yet. Actor Taylor Lautner, a fan who had T.J. McConnell Jersey supportively commented under some of Kristins design videos, got a special delivery to the sidelines of Ford Field for the Lions historic home playoff game Sunday night against the a custom bomber jacket made by Kristin styled after star Detroit defensive end .Both the Chiefs and Lions won their respective games, and the 49ers finished with the best JaKarr Sampson Jersey record in the NFC, so perhaps Kristins jackets even bring a measure of good luck. But Kristin also did some major winning of her own last weekend.According to data compiled by sports social media agency via CrowdTangle, Kristin Juszczyk has gained over 400,000 new followers on Instagram since Friday, when she had around 113,000 followers. To put that in perspective, no NFL player has gained more than 75,000 Instagram followers since last Wednesday. Kyle has only gained around 16,000 followers over the past week.

The video of making Swifts jacket that Kristin posted Saturday has nearly one million likes and 22.5 million vides, according to bknown founder Brendan Kaminsky.This is the Taylor Swift effect, Kaminsky said. Its incredible for Kristin, and the fact that shes been able to showcase her great work. I think the other thing that she deserves credit for is the way shes producing this content. Shes showing the jersey, shes doing quick video edits and showing how shes creating it, and then shes panning straight to the shot of the talent wearing it. Like, not only is she very talented her craft, shes a talented content producer.If Taylor Swift posted something about you, you would get a tremendous boost naturally just because of Taylor Swift. But theres another layer to this where Kristin knows what shes doing with her content. Shes been doing this for a while.The biggest spike day for Kristins follower growth happened on Sunday, the day after Swift wore Kristins jacket to the Chiefs game. Kaminsky says that growth is due in large part not only due to the delayed effect of people discovering Kristins Swift content through Instagrams algorithm but also a collaboration post between Kristin and the Cassius Stanley Jersey NFLs official Instagram account, which boasts over 29 million followers.I would attribute the boost to her owning the content as a content creator and creating a video that got 22.5 million views and then also the NFL acknowledging her, and then that kind of being a domino effect. Kaminsky said. Thats really what did it, her owning that content.Kaminsky also believes Kristin is just getting started in putting herself on the map with her clothing designs. If she continues to collaborate with NFL-adjacent megastars like Biles, Swift and Lautner, who are just a few of the many celebrities that also are diehard NFL fans and/or have a personal connection to a player or team, Kaminsky believes Kristins following could continue to grow by leaps and bounds, and credits the work she has already done to get to this point.Kudos to her for just keeping it going, Kaminsky said. As a profe sional as a content producer, Im always thinking about whats next, and she clearly has that bug.Kyle, meanwhile, is thrilled to see his wife get some attention from so many quarters Reggie Miller Jersey as he and the 49ers gear up to start their own playoff journey in the divisional round against Owens (and Biles) Packers at .Honestly one of the cooler things of this was it merged two different worlds: The football world was interested in it, the fashion world, the Swifties, Kyle said. All that and they all came together.The A sociated Pre s contributed to this report.

After losing both Tevez and Ronaldo this summer, Solomon Hill Jersey Sir Alex must now focus on building his fourth (and last) great squad.Certain Manchester United fans, who are still able to count their age without taking their shoes and socks off, may be a dash worried about how the summer has started. Popular surnames on the backs of replica jerseys will soon need replacing, and no longer will goals from two of Uniteds most impre sive players over the last two seasons be recreated in gardens and parks every Sunday morning. Elder patrons will be able to console the younguns with wisened stories of years past; about players who had shone in the theatre of dreams, yet departed in their prime; squads so memorable that you can still remember the starting 11 of that final. Fans of any other team would be bemoaning the sale of two irreplaceable squad players as the end of an era, but interestingly, even though that may be the case for United, there may be one last trick up their managers sleeve.Every team has had at least one great side, some are lucky to have had a couple, even if theres a forty year gap between them. Most great teams are linked to a great manager: Paisleys great Liverpool side, Revies Leeds, Cloughs Forest. Yet what is unique about being a United fan is that for the last Eric Bledsoe Jersey twenty four years, the Ferguson years, they havent had just one great side, theyve had three. Could now be the time to build the fourth?Sir Alexs first great squad actually began life soon after he had completed his first season after taking over from Ron Akinson in November 1986, with the purchase of Brian McClair from Celtic. It wasnt all plane sailing from day one; as the much repeated story goes, Fergie was close to the sack in September 1989, had it not been for a hard-fought FA Cup win, this after bringing in future legends such as Ince, Pallister and the returning Hughes.It wasnt for another two years that the first great side started to take shape. Nine of the starting eleven that beat Barcelona in the 1991 Cup Winners Cup final had been purchased by Ferguson who was, prior to this, still a manager having trouble bringing in the exact players he wanted to; Beardsley, Hateley and Gasgoigne were all turning down Ferguson long before Hirst and Shearer a few years later. Post-European succe s brought this to change; Schmeichel was the solution to a long term goalkeeping problem, Kanchelskis was the first out-and-out winger since Coppell, and then there was a little known zippy youngster with a huge potential; Giggs. With the core of the side starting to gel, and the new signings, including a certain Eric Cantona, the side won the league in 1993, however Fergusons first great side wasnt achieved until a year later, after one more important signing in Roy Keane. The 1994 Cup Final win against Chelsea was a great end to a fantastic season; 16 million-worth of signings in a starting 11 that took 8 years to build.However within twelve months, Hughes, Ince and Kanchelskis all left for different clubs a combined 14million, which left a lot of critics questioning Ferguson again George Hill Jersey , especially after the replacements were a handful of youth team graduates that anyone outside of Old Trafford had seen little of. Yet what Ferguson had at his disposal were the beginnings of his second great side.The survivors from the Chelsea Cup Final; Schmeichel, Irwin, Giggs and Keane, were partly joined by young talented, homegrown English internationals like Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and David Beckham, and experienced foreigners such as Ronny Johnsen, Jaap Stam, and Dwight Yorke. Four years in the making, Fergusons next squad peaked in 1999; the treble year. A midfield without Scholes and Keane saw Bayern Munich control much of the Champions League final, until the last few minutes at least. When considering the best eleven from this era, mixing the Champions League Final starting eleven Anthony Davis Jersey with the FA Cup Final eleven from just four days prior not only shows the quality of players, but the depth in the squad.Fergies latest great side took longer to build than he would have liked. Soon after the treble, Schmeichel left for Portugal, leaving a huge void in the goalkeeping position (much like the one he solved 9 years earlier) that took 6 years, and countle s replacements to fill. Stam left to Italy a few years later, despite Ferguson later admitting it was a mistake. Bigger names such as Beckham, van Nistelrooy, and Keane all left Old Trafford in their prime, much like Ince, Hughes and Kanchelskis (and to a latter extent, Cantona) had done in the 90s. Cup finals or league wins were neither impre sive, or memorable; the 3-0 victory over Millwall in the 2004 Cup Final had the beginnings of a good side, but was still weak in too many areas, a fact that was made apparent a year later in the defeat by Arsenal. It had started to look better by the 2006 League Cup Final win against Wigan. Signings such as Evra, Carrick and Vidic in that year had worked, and with the form of players such as Ronaldo, Rooney, Vidic and Ferdinand, the side were looking stronger than ever. By the time of summer 2008, the side had peaked, a win by penalties against Chelsea in the Champions League had capped a fantastic season.However, over the last 12 months, and with the summer transfers so far, it appears Ferguson has entered yet another rebuilding stage. Stars such as Giggs, Neville, Scholes and Van der Sar will not be first team regulars for much longer, and with the lo s of two highly regarded players in Tevez Darius Miller Jersey and Ronaldo, it appears that United need to refresh, and rebuild once again. Some positions could already be considered taken, the Brazilian twins Rafael and Fabio have looked promising in their debut season, Rooney is still just 23, whilst youngsters like Darron Gibson, Anderson and Macheda have enough potential to succeed.With Ferguson no closer to retiring, United have the best man with which to achieve even more succe s.
