Swift when did you first start creating custom rework clothing and where did you get your inspiration from yeah honestly it's been a few years now Kyle's been so fortunate to be in the league for 12 years now I feel like about 5 years into his career I just honestly kind of got sick of wearing the same thing to every game so I started just taking a bunch of t-shirts that I had and cutting them and youtubing how to make sweatpants that's kind of where it all started and then I just started challenging myself to making some fresh new design Des for each week and then it kind of just snowball from there and you know you are so talented with your work too I mean thank you you know I feel exactly the same way because you know I don't always just want to wear a jersey sometimes I wear something girly maybe a little bit feminine so I love your work abely and you are also so creative and uh thoughtful with your work too I mean you you made that jacket for Kyle that had all his teammates jerseys that he had them sign and then you also have had that jacket that you made his career of the Jersey throughout his career so really cool yeah you're just you're so very creative well thank you I appreciate that I actually had that idea for the Super Bowl for a long time it was sitting in the corner so I was excited to finally use the idea oh that's awesome well it really really came out great thank you so much so Kyle before joining the 49ers and even before becoming a professional football player from what I've read you've done really well in other sports too uh was professional football something you had always known would ultimately be your career one day um it was definitely my dream um didn't know if that was going to pan out that way but um Athletics has always been a a big part of my life um growing up I always I had two older brothers and they both uh played football uh we played basketball uh we would do baseball in the backyard all those sort of things and so I was always trying to keep up with them and the dream was always to play football so I'm I'm very happy that it panned out that way so Pina for the win challenge uh these are games where dogs and their owners can bond together through play so Kristen tell me about the Pina for the wi challenge yeah absolutely so P has issued four different challenges my favorite challenge is the busy minute challenge which gives you 60 seconds to show off your dog's favorite tricks we love it when M mitti and perogi howl they sit sit they stay they lay down and now it's your opportunity to
