Why no sleeve numbers on NHL All-Star jerseys?

I just got back a 2003 NHL All-Star jersey from being customized and to my surprize, it had no sleeve numbers.

After doing some looking, I realized that they did not use them in 99 and 00 on the 'millenium' style, nor did they use them in 01 in LA and 02 in FLA on that style either.

Any one know why? I could see trying to be different with the 'turn ahead the clock' style, but the one pictured above looks unfinished without them. It's not like the one on the front of the jersey at the bottom makes up for it either. :evil:

The jerseys had a number on the front so they decided not to place numbers on the sleeve and clutter it up as they had the team or country flag on either shoulder and the star on the sleeves
