It's likely to make it harder for the counterfeiters to get their knockoffs on the market in time for Christmas.
With the Heritage Classic jerseys, it was about two months from the time the jerseys were first shown at the McMahon press conference until the fakes started showing up. If the Flames wait until the end of October to announce the new jerseys, the counterfeiters won't have time to catch up, so everyone who gets a new Flames alternate jersey for Christmas will be getting an officially licensed product.
