No boyish jersey. No bulky sweatshirt.
Just one rhinestone-studded black and silver fitted jersey designed by Indianapolis-based JSK Apparel.
Longoria is just one feather in the cap of the 3-year-old company, whose motto is "Making Sports Chic." JSK's dramatically sexy line of women's sports apparel has taken the sports world by storm. Since 2005, it has signed licensing agreements with six universities, sold its goods to boutiques nationwide and is online.
Recently, the company nabbed an agreement with an unnamed National Basketball Association team and is in talks with five more. It also is talking with three National Hockey League teams and upscale department store Nordstrom.
