I’m an old dude, so it really hurts to say but, overall, the gold uniforms are the worst of all the three uniforms.
Particularly, it’s the gold shorts that kill the gold uniform’s overall look. The gold stripe inside the purple bar going down the leg on the the shorts is an absolutely awful detail that destroys the overall look for me.
The gold uniforms (with shorts) are pretty horrendous.
The overall look of the white and purple uniforms make them head and shoulders the best of the three. From a pure aesthetic standpoint, the white and purple uniforms, when judged in totality (with jersey and shorts), are just a much better overall uniform.
I’ll never get used to the gold stripe going down the middle of the gold shorts though — really bad in my opinion. |
Some work definitely needs to be done to the striping on the sides. I can't get over the color everytime I see it though, it truly is like a neon yellow. It's not even close. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest |

Yeah, but even if the gold was actually gold, it’d still look bad going down the inside purple bar of the shorts. It just doesn’t look right. I think others will see this and acknowledge it more as the season goes on.
The white and purple uniforms will prove to be the best looking of the three.
I actually think the purple ones will look great, maybe the best of all of them, if they rock them with all black leggings and shoes, but the gold ones look silly and clownlike. It’s too bad actually. _________________ A creative scorer, a wing defender, and a shooter. |

All I see is highlighter. They should just go ahead and make the whites the official home jersey. |

Ok so I am what you may call a Collector of Lakers jerseys. I just received my Lakers Association Edition Lebron Jersey from Lakersstore.com. It is the white version. It is truely a thing of beauty. The shadow drop numbers are more gold than banana yellow. When you order from Lakersstore.com it also has the WISH patch attached to it. I believe that ordering from the online team shop is the only way to get the WISH patch. As a person that owns almost at least one version of each jersey a Laker has worn, I am in LOVE with the white one. Growing up in the 80's with Showtime, the Gold of Forum blue was always something that separated us from the rest of the league. We were the only team with no white home kits. Now, because we at paying homage to Magic and the crew, we get a glimpse of Showtime era jerseys in white. I am taking the kids to see Smallfoot today. You best believe Dad will be rockin his white Lebron jersey today.
Does anyone have any idea on the Laker Legend chosen to help inspire this years City Edition Jersey? |

Indeed. They got the white units right. No doubt about that. I could’ve gone without the “L” secondary logo on the shorts, but that’s not a huge deal. _________________ A creative scorer, a wing defender, and a shooter. |

I don't even see the Association version on the Lakersstore website. I just saw on Fanatics they released B.I.'s Association jersey but not Lebron's. Seriously? I guess they're trying to maximize sale of Lebron's Icon jersey before releasing a new one.
It would not surprise me if Lebron had a say in the design of a new City edition since he, like Kobe, is a Nike brand athlete. This is the start of the Lebron era after all. He helped design Cleveland's City Edition jersey last season. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Watching them in Staples for the first time, based purely on design these are the best jerseys the Lakers have ever had.
Now get the black off the purples. |

The unis looked amazing last night. For some reason Javale and Lance jerseys really stand out above the rest of the players. |

Ok so there is a pic of the City Edition jersey floating around guys and gals. It is inspired by the Magic Man. You ready for this ? Pinstripes! Yep. Purple
Jersey, lighter purple it appears . Black pinstripes. Black letters , surrounded by gold. 32 on waist band. I am a jersey nut. If I had to guess the stripes are to represent Earvin the business man, pinstripe suit and all. I will get one because it is who I am. But these are going to be real interesting. |

yuck...
if they wanted to add Los Angeles on the jersey, it'd be better off having just LOS ANGELES in cursive like the blue laker unis |

The new city uniform is the absolute worst we've ever had, by far. Nike has been awful. |

Nike just makes the jerseys.. I think the Lakers themselves (& every team in the league) have a design team that mocks up the unis then sends em in to Nike for them to make... same with when Adidas where making jerseys |
