Janne Pesonen Shirt....part 1...

So this is just an initial idea I had about the shirt, wanted any and all feedback. Whenever we goto sell them they will be probably around $20 so we are able to gain a profit to donate to a charity that we as the pesonation will vote on. Since we are donating all the money to charity we will need to sell as many of these shirts as possible (the more we sell the smaller the cost of printing, i looked at 50 shirts they will cost around $11 if we somehow get to 100 they will cost $8). Anyways, we probably won't be gettin ready to sell these for some time now, just wanted to put this out there and see what everybody thought. I would appreciate any other bloggers reading this to pass it around to their readers and see what kind of interest we can get.

I will be linking to this post on the side bar at the top for easy access... Party on Pesonation

PS if you are wondering about the shirt...Team Finland Hockey...and the text reads Janne's Finnish Army

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Pittsburgh Penguins South (aka the Tampa Bay Lightning) tonight 7:30 PM...

Just a heads up here the Pens are playing The Pittsburgh Penguins South tonight at 7:30 pm. Stop by Pesonen and the Pens for some live blogging updates from myself and Kevin. Hopefully we'll see Pesonen kick ass and that bum Steven Stamjokes continue to prove himself unworthy of the number 1 pick. So yeah, stop by, get updates, give us your thoughts... The Pesonation continues to grow...

In other news Kevin and I have been discussing in the near future (assuming janne makes the team which is looking very good at this point) getting toegether a T-Shirt Sale. We are unsure of the design, but right now we are leaning towards Pessi's Finnish Army, but if you have any t-shirt ideas or designs please send us an email and we may use it. All procedes will goto charity and not our pockets so hopefully that gets a few of you who would be on the fence to buy one. So yeah stay posted for that and give us any thoughts about that if you wish...

EDIT:

Apparently you can listen to the game on TB radio so here is the link:

EA Sports Snubs Janne

Last year NHL 2008 from EA Sports was rated the best sports video game, and from the reviews coming before it's release it seems as if it is poised to repeat.

In order to get their fans wet, most video game companies release tid-bits of low level details in the weeks going up until the release (NHL comes out on september 9th i believe). Last week, EA Sports posted all the players from each teams rankings. The Penguins rankings can be found here and the rest of the NHL teams can be found here.

Now the big issue is that on the pens roster...THERE IS NO JANNE!!!! I am assuming he is probably on the AHL roster on the game, and if worst comes to worst the last few iterations of NHL have had the SM-Liiga teams in it, so you can bring Janne over from there.

Also, seriously, Janniacs, sign the faux petition about getting Janne shirts in the post prior to this one. Seriously...

Janne Pesonen Penguins shirts...

Now before you cream your pants, that is not a real shirt, but a poorly done photoshop that i did to prove a point.

I am really annoyed with everybody and their mothers prancing around wearing jerseys of those wanna-be-janne's Crosby and Malkin. It's time that the NHL shop (located at http://shop.nhl.com) feed the need of us Janniacs (that is what i named us for the time being).

See people, I have a dream that one day the Janne Nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, mainly by being able to wear shirts that have janne's name and number on it...

What i need everybody to do is in the comment section post your plee for a better tomorrow, a plee for a shop that does not only have shirts for malkin crosby staal and fleury, but for a shop that includes Janne Pesonen merchandise and memorabilia, but mainly those cheap shirt jerseys. So yeah, post your plee and please pass this around to your friends or other pittsburgh blogs you read. Once the comments get to a suitable size i will email it to the NHL shop and hopefully we will be reppin the J E double N to the E by mid october.

Converting Finnish(euro) to USD

I was asked a question about the Pesonen shirt post. It looks like to me that the shirts are 80 euros which is about $119.00 usd, is this correct? If not feel free to guide us. Just browsing through the site I noticed a couple of binky's the Flyers might like once they get a dose of Pesonen.
