Someone else from RFD got a different reply:

just finally got a response to my heated email to HBC about completely dropping the ball on this merchandise, apparently I'm not the only one to complain.

seems they are going to continue some production.. or I should say 'reproduction' .. I take that has the items to be replicas of the original item quality, meaning, less than. the items in the stores is of lower quality already than the actual items the athletes wore (to sell at what HBC calls a reasonable price point), the reproductions with be less than the first line of stock.

saving all the blah blah blah.. here's the meat and potatoes of the reply:


However we are looking at reproducing some of our key items based on the
tremendous response which we hope to have available within the next 45
days.

We are also considering the development of a new fall 2010 line that
will reflect some of the most popular items in the Team apparel that
will be available in stores in time for back to school shopping.


Regards,
