Kristin Juszczyk went from sewing jackets as a hobby in her spare time to landing on TIME magazine’s 2026 list of the most influential people in sports — all without a single day of formal fashion training. If you’ve been searching for who she is, what her brand is about, and how big her career has actually gotten, this article covers it all. You’ll also find her full background, family history, and what she’s been up to in 2026.
Background: Who Is Kristin Juszczyk?
Kristin Juszczyk is an American fashion designer best known for creating custom sports-inspired apparel — particularly puffer jackets, vests, and coats — that rework vintage athletic gear into standout game-day pieces. She is the founder of Off Season, an officially licensed sports apparel brand that holds deals with the NFL, NBA, WNBA, Formula One, and Team USA.
She’s also the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, which is how most people first heard her name. But that framing undersells what she’s built. She started designing for fun, posted videos of her process on social media, and watched everything accelerate dramatically after Taylor Swift wore one of her custom jackets to a Kansas City Chiefs playoff game in January 2024. From that single moment, she went from an internet personality to a businesswoman with a licensed product line, a talent agency deal, a YouTube series, and a spot on one of the most recognized annual lists in media.
People search for her name constantly because she keeps showing up — at major sporting events, in fashion coverage, and on social media with new designs and collaborations. Her story is one of those rare cases where a genuine hobby turned into a real career without a traditional path.
Latest Update
As of August 29, 2026
As of August 29, 2026, Kristin Juszczyk is actively growing Off Season beyond football and into a multi-sport fashion label. The most recent public development came just days ago, on August 24, 2026, when she dropped Off Season’s NFL Fall 2026 Collection on Instagram Reels. The campaign featured the wives and partners of several NFL players — including Sam Darnold’s wife Katie, DeVonta Smith’s wife Mya Danielle, Hunter Henry’s wife Parker, and Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs’ girlfriend Nicole Madison — each styled in team-coloured Off Season pieces. Notably, this latest drop covered 13 NFL teams, more than double the six teams featured in the brand’s 2025 debut collection.

Earlier in 2026, Kristin signed with United Talent Agency (UTA), one of Hollywood’s largest talent firms. That deal is specifically aimed at building her presence in unscripted TV and sports media, building on the YouTube series Wifed Up Mic’d Up, which she co-hosts with Claire Kittle (wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle). The show’s first season generated over 3.5 million views on YouTube, and a second season is confirmed.
Off Season has also partnered with Formula One for a racing-inspired collection, following earlier collaborations with Team USA for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. The brand’s expansion into NBA, WNBA, and F1 makes it clear that Kristin isn’t positioning Off Season as just an NFL label — she’s building toward becoming a multi-sport fashion brand with year-round relevance.
Full Profile
Family and Early Life
Kristin was born Kristin Arceri on February 11, 1994, in Massapequa, New York — a suburban town on Long Island. Her parents were Joseph Arceri and Gini Arceri. She has two siblings: a brother named Alexander and a sister named Lauren. Her mother Gini passed away in 2012, the same year Kristin graduated high school. Multiple sources confirm this, though detailed information about the circumstances of her mother’s death is not publicly available.
Kristin grew up in a regular suburban household — there’s nothing in her background that points toward fashion or design. She didn’t grow up sewing or sketching clothes. The skills she eventually became known for were ones she taught herself later in life, largely by watching YouTube videos. That’s not a throwaway detail. She has said it herself in interviews, and it’s part of what makes her story resonate with people who didn’t go to design school and don’t have industry connections.
Career Path
After graduating from Towson University in 2016, Kristin worked in real estate in Baltimore for a period. When her husband Kyle was traded from the Baltimore Ravens to the San Francisco 49ers, the couple relocated to San Jose, California. It was there that the DIY sewing work began — initially as a way to make game-day outfits for herself that actually looked good, since she felt the available licensed women’s NFL apparel was lacking in style.
She started posting her process videos online, building a following slowly and steadily. Everything changed on January 13, 2024, when Taylor Swift walked into Arrowhead Stadium wearing a custom Kristin Juszczyk jacket — a puffer coat featuring Travis Kelce’s name and number on the back. The jacket went immediately viral. Searches for “custom NFL jackets” surged 2,000% on eBay in the weeks that followed. Brittany Mahomes, Simone Biles, Olivia Culpo, actor Taylor Lautner, and Glenn Powell all wore her designs in the months that followed.
💡 Key fact: Kristin has no formal training in fashion design. She is entirely self-taught and has credited YouTube tutorials as her main source of technical knowledge. She did not study fashion at any point during her education.
Within weeks of Swift’s appearance, the NFL offered Kristin a licensing deal — meaning she could now legally use NFL team logos, names, and branding on products sold to the public. She partnered with Emma Grede, co-founder of SKIMS (Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand) and Good American, to properly structure and launch the brand. Off Season officially launched in January 2025. Products — including unisex puffer jackets, vests, and long coats — range in price from $285 to $495. Within the first day of the initial launch, four of the 32 team offerings sold out.

Wrap-Up
What makes Kristin Juszczyk’s career unusual is that almost none of the standard elements are there. She didn’t study design. She didn’t grow up with industry connections. She didn’t have a wealthy sponsor or a formal launch plan. She started sewing to make game-day outfits that she actually wanted to wear, and built an audience one video at a time. The Taylor Swift moment in January 2024 accelerated everything dramatically, but the foundation she’d built before that — the skills, the following, the relationships — is what allowed her to capitalize on it when it happened.
✅ Key takeaway: Off Season is now licensed across NFL, NBA, WNBA, Formula One, and Team USA — five of the most recognizable sports properties in the world. For a brand that launched in January 2025, that’s a significant footprint in a short time. Kristin’s TIME100 Sports recognition in 2026 reflects how far she’s moved from the “footballer’s wife” label that originally introduced her to mainstream audiences.
The trajectory she’s on in 2026 — talent agency, ESPY hosting, a YouTube series returning for a second season, and a new collection that more than doubled its team coverage — suggests that Off Season is no longer just a fashion project tied to NFL game days. Whether the brand can sustain that growth across multiple sports and seasons is the real question going forward. But at 32, with a team behind her and a growing media presence, Kristin Juszczyk is clearly building something with longer legs than a viral moment.
She’s also, in a quiet way, one of the more interesting stories in modern sports-adjacent culture — a person who built real expertise in something she had no business doing on paper, and then turned it into a career that now generates its own headlines independently of her husband’s NFL season.
