This is incorrect. In my collection of jerseys, I have three of the Reebok Premier home jerseys. They all have the Reebok logo shown in the 1st picture in the thread. Of these three jerseys, one is from the 2008-09 season (Iginla), and the other two are from 2010-11 (Glencross and Giordano). They were all purchased from the Dome. I have a retro jersey from the 2009-10 season (Bouwmeester), that also has the Reebok symbol on the left sleeve. I'm not sure what version (Authentic/Premier/etc.) it is, as the arms are wider to allow pads in, but the material is not as nice as the authentic. It's kind of a weird hybrid. The size is weird too, as I'm a small in Premier jerseys, but this is a medium. This was purchased at the Dome, and comes with the 30th anniversary patch. I have a 2010-11 Heritage Classic (Kiprusoff) Premier. It doesn't have the logo or the word mark on the sleeve, and was purchased from the Dome.
I also have the Reebok Premier retro jersey from the 2014-15 season (Backlund), that has the Reebok word mark on it. This was bought from FanAttic online.
I have four authentic (on ice) jerseys, all purchased from FanAttic or the Dome. None of them have a logo or a word mark on the left sleeve.
The first is a 2010-11 style (Brodie), as it has the Reebok logo on the back of the jersey. I'm annoyed with myself for getting Brodie #7 on this jersey, as I bought it blank and had it stitched later. The problem is that Brodie never wore this version of the jersey. In 2010-11 he only played three games, and wore three different jerseys (away white, home retro, home red). For all of them he wore #66. He didn't switch to #7 until 2011-12, so my jersey isn't period correct.
I have the same problem as above with my Authentic Retro Sven Baertschi jersey. I bought it in March 2012 from the Dome after he was called up. Unfortunately the Flames sold me the 2010-11 retro jersey that has the logo on the back. Sven never played a game that had the logo on it, so it's another one that isn't period correct.
The other two authentics I have are 2013-14 3rd/alternate Monahan and a 2014-15 home Gaudreau. Both have the Reebok word mark on the back of the neck.

They may not change them willy-nilly, but they definitely change small details throughout the years.

That is apples to apples. One of those jerseys is from somewhere between 2007-2011, and the other is from 2013-16. The word mark or logos were consistent in the same year. I can upload photos from my jerseys, or you can take words at face value.
