Iowa women's basketball star Caitlin Clark was the inspiration behind the latest jacket designed by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

She revealed the jacket on Friday in honor of Clark leading the Hawkeyes to a Final Four appearance.

This isn't the first time that Juszczyk has been inspired by Clark, gifting a custom signature vest to the NCAA's all-time leading scorer ahead of her final regular-season home game on March 3.

"It's so special to me to be able to create, especially for a woman of her caliber," Juszczyk said, per Yahoo Sports' Cassandra Negley. "She's such a trailblazer in her league and it's special to be able to see her selling out these arenas and breaking all these records."

Clark's impressive 2023-24 campaign continued in March Madness, helping the Hawkeyes avenge their loss to LSU in the 2023 title game by defeating the Tigers in the Elite Eight. In 41 minutes, the senior finished with 41 points and 12 assists while shooting 9-20 from behind the arc.

As for Juszczyk, she signed a licensing deal with the NFL after her custom-made jackets were worn by stars such as Taylor Swift and Simone Biles before subsequently going viral.

Clark will attempt to lead the Hawkeyes beyond the Final Four in back-to-back years as they face off against UConn on Friday.
