The EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank CenterKansas City Chiefs are honoring the legacy of one of their own. 

Four months after former cheerleader Krystal Anderson died due to complications from child birth, the NFL team shared that they plan to add a rhinestone logo of her initials to the sideline padding near the 10-yard line for the duration of the upcoming season. The placement pays tribute to where Krystal worked during every game day as part of the Alumni Crew. 

And that's not the only way the Chiefs plan to honor the late squad member, who retired from the cheerleading team in 2016 after eight non-consecutive seasons.

For one, the current cheerleaders will also wear cuffs featuring her initials on their right arm throughout the 2024 season. Plus, the Hunt Family Foundation—named for Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt—plans to make a financial contribution in Krystal's honor.

"Everything that Krissy was for all of us, it's our job now to take that and carry it forward," Chiefs Director of Entertainment Stephanie Judah said in a statement published on the organization's website July 9. "Think of all of the people she touched, and if all of those people could impact just one or two more. What a beautiful thing to make a difference and to carry on her legacy."

She added, "That's our goal and our job. We owe that to her."

Krystal died from sepsis on March 20, shortly after delivering her and husband Clayton Anderson's stillborn daughter Charlotte Willow Anderson, an obituary confirmed at the time. She was 40 years old. 

Following the tragedy, Clayton shared his own thoughts on the legacy his wife left behind. 

"She would want everything to shine and sparkle," he told Good Morning America in an interview back in April, "and she would want her laughter to be spread."

Clayton added, "She was my world. My best friend and obviously the love of my life and mother to our children."
