Prior to 2000, Different NHL teams had contracts with different manufacturers for their jerseys, although in some years all or most teams had a deal with one supplier. Manufacturers included Nike, Starter, Pro Player, CCM, and Koho.
200107
From the 200001 season, up to the 200506 NHL season, all team jerseys were made by The Hockey Company in an NHL-wide deal, and were branded with subsidiary brands. The Koho brand was on dark jerseys and third jerseys, while the CCM brand was on the white jerseys. The Hockey Company began the practice of putting the manufacturer's logo on the back of the jersey, below the neck, rather than on the back of the waist hem, as had previously been the practice. Jofa, another subsidiary, made the jerseys for referees and linesmen until the 200506 season, when they were re-branded CCM which they remain as of 200809.
Following Reebok's purchase of The Hockey Company, all official NHL team jerseys were switched to the Reebok (Rbk Hockey) brand (which is more familiar to the general public), while cheaper replica jerseys sold to fans retained the CCM branding. Reebok logos are on the side boards in all NHL arenas (for marketing purposes) just above the blue and red lines.
Since 2007: Reebok Edge
The Rbk Edge, or simply Edge, is a newer line of jerseys designed by Reebok. They were announced by Reebok after nearly three years of development. The new jerseys are tighter-fitting, are less water-absorbent, and are more flexible than before.It was intended to make players more manoeuvrable on the ice. The Edge jerseys were unveiled at the 55th National Hockey League All-Star Game and began to be worn, league-wide, from the 200708 NHL season onwards. Almost every team in the league made at least minor changes to their uniform design in conjunction with implementing the new jersey style. The San Jose Sharks, Tampa Bay Lightning, Vancouver Canucks, and Washington Capitals redesigned their uniforms altogether with a new or updated logo. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild used their alternate jersey from the previous three seasons as the basis for their new uniforms, complete with the team adopting the alternate logo from their alternates as their primary logo.
Along with the traditional differences between the replica and authentic versions of NHL jerseys, the replica (billed as "premier") versions of the Edge jersey sold to the public have a "jock tag" on the left side of the front near the waist with the Reebok vector, NHL logo, and jersey size. While NHL.com lists a jock tag as a feature on the authentic jerseys as well, jerseys sold at retail seem not to have this tag.
