Heritage and history? OK fine. Should we start bringing back horse drawn buggies?
PS: can we just see the darn jersey already and end this foolish game. Waiting seems like a mistake. How can that help sales?

Think it is a counterfitting issue.
Don't think the Flames were fond of seeing hundreds of "McDonald's" Heritage Classic jerseys that were obviously fake around the dome. (Hell it annoys me and I don't even have any money tied to it)
Don't release it until the jerseys are in-stores and ready to sell.
Team Canada attempted a similar approach. Delaying the announcement of the jerseys until they will be available in-store. I can confirm that Team Canada jerseys have arrived in retail locations with strict guidelines that the boxes are not to be open until the specified date.
