Taylor Swift’s Promotion Makes NFL Negotiate Deal With Kyle Juszczyk’s Wife Kristin Juszczyk
When Taylor Swift wore a personalized puffer jacket to a Chiefs playoff game, Kristin Juszczyk, the maker of these jackets, became well-known. Juszczyk is allegedly in talks with the NFL to have her drawings turned into official goods, as the league recognizes the demand from fans.
The league acknowledged rising fan interest, especially from women, even if it did not provide statistics on goods sales.

Kristin Juszczyk is a self-taught designer who does not currently have her designs available for purchase. She would require an NFL license in order to join the market, and she would have to meet stringent requirements such as having three years of manufacturing expertise, guaranteeing a minimum royalty of $100,000, and having a $6 million liability coverage.

The coats were also worn to a playoff Lions vs. Rams game, which increased interest in her creations.
As time went on, she began to create costumes for NFL players, like Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, as well as other NFL wives, like Brittany Mahomes and Simone Biles, who is married to Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens.
