Kristin Juszczyk, NFL Fashion Designer, Reveals Why She Declined Kamala Harris's Request

By -

 The NFL wife whose team-inspired fashion designs went viral last year thanks to the support of super celebrities like Taylor Swift and Simone Biles says she got so busy in the months leading up to signing her eventual licensing deal with the NFL that she had to turn down a request from now-presidential hopeful Kamala Harris.


Kristin Juszczyk, whose husband Kyle plays for the San Francisco 49ers, told Fox News that she got a request from Harris, a fan of the team, for a piece of custom clothing leading up to the Super Bowl.

At the time, she had "no help and no ways of being able to make more stuff," she said, and had to turn down the request from the sitting vice president of the United States.

The moment sticks out as a true sign for the young designer that things were "going crazy" for her, she said, and since then she’s signed an apparel licensing deal with the NFL.

Last season saw her designs worn by Swift, Simone Biles, Brittany Mahomes and Olivia Culpo, all of whom are also married to or dating NFL players.

During the Super Bowl, I got a text from my agent, and that’s when things were going crazy,” Juszczyk said. “He was like, ‘Hey, the vice president wants a jacket.’ I’m like, ‘What company?’ He’s like, ‘The country,'" she said.

Juszczyk's handmade, one-of-a-kind gameday outfits generated a ton of buzz on social media after the famous names were seen sporting her looks at post-season games. She'd been sewing her own looks to wear to her husband's games for years, but Swift wearing one to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce, was the moment she skyrocketed to the mainstream. Her social media following has grown to 1.1 million Instagram followers and more than 435,000 on TikTok, where she shows off the designs she makes and gives tutorials for how to spruce up a game-day outfit. She's spent up to 30 hours making a single custom piece, and her licensing deal with the NFL gives her the right to use NFL logos in her designs going forward. Her husband and social media hype man Kyle Juszczyk has said his wife is still figuring out exactly what the next steps in production are for her business, but that her designs “will be available eventually” to the public.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
