Perhaps the most important figure in Finnish women's hockey, Jenni Hiirikoski is widely considered one of the best active ice hockey defensemen in the world, having won the IIHF Directorate Best Defenceman award seven times during the 2010s. A mainstay with the Finnish National Team since 2004 and having gone on to win a trio of Olympic bronze medals, she was named the Best Defenceman of the Olympic tournament in both 2014 and 2018. A World Championship silver medalist and tournament MVP in 2019, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Hiirikoski during the 2018-19 Women's Euro Hockey Tour. Made by Warrior, a brand label that includes a size "L" fly tag is affixed to the inner collar while Warrior logos have been sublimated into the material of the jersey underneath collar and around the neckline itself. Decorated over the front of the faux tie-neck garment with a Team Finland crest that features embroidered details throughout its entirety, a 90th anniversary Team Finland tag has been sewn on over the lower front while a Warrior patch in a similar style is found over the lower reverse. Having had various sponsorship logos sublimated into the material at the shoulders and collarbones, the sleeves and verso have been accented with Hiirikoski's number "6" in either single or dual layer tackle twill numerals while "Hiirikoski" is spelt out in sublimated white letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the upper reverse. Showing evidence of a removed captain's "C" patch over the left breast, the jersey, featuring a fight strap on the interior shows game-wear via stick marks over the front, reverse and both sleeves while the sleeves also board burns and coloured paint transfer marks as well.
