My guess is that the stuff on the shoulders and the fake laces are there to make it more difficult for the Chinese knock-off makers to replicate.
They remind me of the weird stripes that Nike added to the NFL jerseys last year. I'm sure it's also why we've been seeing teams adding text and designs to the inside of their collars and stuff like the guitar string stripes on the numbers on the Predators' jerseys.
