The original article titled “Klay rocks Kristin Juszczyk-designed 49ers jacket to Warriors game” was featured on NBC Sports Bay Area.
Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson made a stylish entrance at Chase Center on Saturday, arriving on his bicycle wearing a custom red 49ers puffer jacket ahead of the Golden State’s matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. The exclusive design was crafted by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
As Thompson rolled into the garage, he enthusiastically exclaimed, “Niner gang! Y’all know what time it is. Niner Faithful. Look at this! Little nice collab. Dubs-Niners. C’mon now.”
Kristin Juszczyk’s designs have gained significant attention in the sports world lately, having customized pieces for various celebrities, including international pop star Taylor Swift, actor Taylor Lautner, and 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, among others.
Recent reports suggest that Juszczyk is in talks with the NFL to potentially transform her innovative designs into official league merchandise.
Expressing her joy over Thompson showcasing her design, Juszczyk commented on a video of the Warriors star in the jacket on Instagram, writing, “LET’S GO!!! Thank you for the support!!! Do it for the bay!!” accompanied by two clapping emojis.
Thompson’s gesture of support comes at an opportune time as San Francisco gears up to face the Detroit Lions in its third consecutive NFC Championship Game on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium, with hopes of advancing to Super Bowl LVIII.
It’s worth noting that several 49ers players, including Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel, have been seen courtside at Warriors games, making Thompson’s reciprocal gesture fitting and appreciated by the 49ers community.
