The Iowa Hawkeyes Senior Day on Sunday is expected to be a historic day for senior guard Caitlin Clark, needing just 18 points to break the NCAA career scoring record held by Pete Maravich. Ahead of the game, Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszcyk, created a special piece of clothing to commemorate the record.
Juszczyk has created a number of special custom pieces recently for some huge stars, including a Travis Kelce-themed puffer jacket for pop icon Taylor Swift.
Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports first reported the news, posting a picture of the vest on social media, which features several accolades she has accomplished throughout her collegiate career.

Juszczyk issued a statement to Yahoo Sports on the vest, saying that she wished she could have included all of the impressive accolades that Clark has accomplished throughout her historic collegiate career.
“I wish I could add all her awards on there, but you would need 700 jackets to fit all that. Which is incredible,” Juszczyk told Yahoo Sports. “It’s a special piece and I hope she loves it.”
This game is not only a big one because of Clark’s looming record. It is also huge for Iowa as a team. They are facing off against No. 2 ranked Ohio State. A victory would certainly help prove that they are a very real threat to potentially win a National Championship.
