According to Antti Suomela, Hannes Björninen’s mustache might appeal to viewers.
The salesmen of Team Sportia 10, Tampere’s most legendary store specializing in ice hockey, say that the Lions jersey store is open.
– About 500 Finnish jerseys have been sold so far. They will probably run out completely before the end of the Games. Our goal is to sell around 80–100 lion shirts on game days in Finland, shop Atte Riihelä tells.
They mean the jerseys made by Warrior, which Leijonat uses, for example, in EHT tournaments.
You can also get the shirt with a print. It has been the overwhelming number one wish of the customers Mikko Rantanen jersey with number 96.
– A lot of women have asked Hannes Björninen shirts, seller Artturi Viitakoski reveals unexpectedly.
The object of admiration must be told about interesting information.
Hannes Björninen, what could this be?
– Now you’re asking the wrong man. I can’t say, the Lions quarterback grins.
Feeling flattered?
– Of course. The World Cup tournament is a great event for the entire Finnish people, who follow a lot of our games.
Could a teammate explain the background of the phenomenon?
– He’s a handsome guy, so I’m not surprised at all. Probably the mustache also appeals in some way, Leijoni’s center colleague Antti Suomela says.
Hannes Björninen was flattered by his popularity. PASI LEISMA
At Team Sport 10, they knew how to prepare for Rantanen’s popularity, and you could still get his jerseys from the sales stall on Sunday.
Preparations had already been made for the arrival of another NHL star.
– Patrik Laine the shirts would have sold wildly. We were ready to press Laine as well. We think that we are still waiting.
– We had already asked the team’s guardian which number Laine would play with. Fortunately, we didn’t print, even if those shirts could have sold well, owner Jarmo Rantanen tells.
