Space City Authentic Jersey Stitched Numbers?

So I bought one of the authentic Space City jerseys back when they first released, and was told by the team store that day that they could send it out for stitched numbers, but didn't want to pay for that at the time. I was then also told a few weeks later at a game that they could send it out for stitched numbers and it would be $80.

Now today I finally went down to the team store to drop it off and I was told that they do not offer stitched numbers on the Space City jerseys because of the material????? I even asked to speak with a manager and they said the same thing.

Is there anyone that has gotten a player/number stitched on the back of the authentic Space City jersey through the team store? I feel like it's silly that they wouldn't.
