To play devils advocate... if they were all the same template (black plus a team colour), those would be easy to assemble and distribute, and not require a delay until April (which might hurt sales), so I suspect customized black jerseys, which is better than a standard template.
I suspect either they are abandoning all blacks and redesigning some teams, which will delay things, or having to do Ottawa’s homes in a rush delayed production.
I also wouldn’t mind if the teams kept their prior away kits as a third alternate to prevent too much colour v. black matches
