Oh, don't worry – you'll see it more!

Usually any details available this early in the year come from Reebok's planning catalog sent to retailers. It indicates the Oilers will have a new third jersey next season. Most likely we'll see this year's orange throwback get an upgrade.
As a specialty sweater, it can only be worn for a handful of games in a season. As a third jersey, it can used up to 15 times. And the design has been wildly popular in Edmonton. I can't imagine the Oilers going in any other direction if a new third is indeed coming next year.

So what people are seeing is the jersey 'canceled' as a specialty sweater.
