Does anyone know why teams only wear these special jerseys for warm-up? I assume it's because the jerseys are auctioned off during the game, but not sure. Would be cool to see them for at least a period, maybe two and then auctioned off in the 3rd.

i think a lot of it has to do with the way the league works...
teams can have a home/away/third and this year a reverse retro
special jersey allowed for an outdoor game
but that's about it for 'game worn' jerseys.
warmup jerseys... knock your socks off - st patricks day, military themed, lunar new year, etc - the teams can have a little fun. but for actual "game" jerseys the rules are pretty tight.
also, the approval process for a jersey is not a fast process. a buddy of mine was a 'higher up' at jersey city for western canada and mentioned that it's a 1-2 year process to bring out a new jersey.
