George Kittle Turns Niners WAGs’ Dogs Into Something Totally Unexpected

When it comes to gift-giving, San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle knows how to make an impression.

This time, the charismatic tight end teamed up with talented artist Arreola to create custom gifts for the Niners WAGs that are equal parts quirky, heartfelt, and luxurious. The centerpiece of these thoughtful presents? Their beloved dogs, immortalized in one-of-a-kind rugs.

George Kittle’s latest gesture proves that when it comes to creativity and thoughtfulness, he’s not just playing in the big leagues on the field—he’s scoring major points off of it too.

Kristin Juszczyk, a renowned fashion designer who married 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk in 2019, was one of the lucky recipients. Kristin’s two stunning white Samoyeds, Mozzarella and Pierogi, were transformed into a beautiful 3.5-foot carpet. The mats, expertly stitched and crafted, captured the pups' fluffy faces with impressive detail.

Meanwhile, running back Christian McCaffrey and his wife Olivia Culpo, who recently tied the knot this past offseason, received a rug dedicated to their adorable toy golden doodle, Oliver Sprinkles. Known for his internet fame and thousands of Instagram followers, Oliver’s likeness was carefully captured in a soft brown mat, complete with his signature curls.

The craftsmanship behind these unique pieces is no small feat. Custom rug designer Angel Arreola reportedly spent four to six hours constructing each rug, followed by nearly two days of gluing and drying to ensure the mats were durable and picture-perfect. Each rug is a labor of love, and it shows.

For those wondering about the price tag of such a unique gift, TMZ learned that each custom pet-inspired rug is valued between $450 and $525. While they may come with a premium cost, the sentimental value—and the undeniable charm—of these personalized gifts make them priceless in the eyes of their recipients.

In 2019, a mutual friend introduced Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey on a blind date. Four years later, Christian, a San Francisco 49ers running back, proposed to Olivia, a model and former Miss Universe, during a road trip to Utah.

On Saturday, June 29, 2024, the couple exchanged vows in an emotional ceremony in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. A source told People Magazine that the wedding was a deeply heartfelt experience for everyone in attendance. "There wasn't a dry eye in the house when [McCaffrey] said his vows" to Culpo, the source said.

The bride, who stunned in a custom Dolce & Gabbana gown as she walked down the aisle, was described by the source as "poised and elegant as ever."

If the name Kristin Juszczyk rings a bell, there’s a good reason. Beyond being the talented fashion designer married to San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, Kristin recently skyrocketed into mainstream recognition as the creative force behind Taylor Swift's iconic custom Kansas City Chiefs jacket, worn during Week One of the NFL playoffs last year.

But that headline-making moment was just the beginning—Kristin officially scored a licensing deal with the NFL within weeks of her viral jacket, solidifying her place as a rising star in the world of sports fashion.

Known for her signature style, Kristin creates unique pieces—including crop tops, jackets, leg warmers, vests, and hats—by cutting up and reimagining NFL jerseys and other sports memorabilia into fresh, trendsetting designs. Her innovative approach has earned her a dedicated following and celebrity clientele, turning game day into a runway with each piece she crafts.

Reflecting on her journey, she explained, “Everyone always asks if I studied fashion in college and the answer is no! Although, my love for sewing was kind of instilled in me at a young age. I spent countless nights crocheting with my grandma while watching ‘Wheel of Fortune’.”

Although Kristin took a break from sewing, she rekindled her passion when she decided to create a costume for herself and Kyle Juszczyk.

She explained, "After finishing that project, I got a feeling like I’ve never felt before, a feeling like this is what I should have been doing my whole life. I then began reworking my game day outfits for Kyle’s games. I started reworking old t-shirts, jerseys, and even footballs into fresh designs. I continue to challenge myself to create new styles and broaden my skill set."

Kristin has been transforming jerseys into stylish game day outfits for years., explaining, "I started reworking old t-shirts, jerseys, and even footballs into fresh designs. I continue to challenge myself to create new styles and broaden my skill set."
