Before Reebok took over, CCM and Koho made away and home jerseys. Koho did home (darks) and CCM did away (whites), both having the logo under the neck line in the back. An embroidered NHL logo would go on the hem.
Reebok, of course owns CCM. Before that, CCM bought out Karhu, which owned Koho, Canadien, and Titan/Jofa. This is why it was 'easy' for Reebok to get into the hockey equipment marker.
Before the neck logo placement, logos were placed in the lower right hem (right butt cheek). This included CCM, Nike, Starter, Pro Player, etc., with NHL logo. Gretzky had special jerseys made with logos on both sides of the hem to allow for this tuck...making sure logo would show.
When Reebok (RBK) introduced the EDGE jerseys, the NHL logo was moved to the apex of the collar trim on the front
