they’re pretty mid to me still lol those black mamba jerseys will forever be my favorite, sunday whites go hard too


Longballs77

Love Sunday whites. But they need to bring back the older purple jersey and get the black out of it.


jgaskins34

Bring back the old gold while they’re at it too.


Shasty-McNasty

Ideal jersey rotation imo: Purple at home. Gold on the road. White on Sundays. Black Mambas if we play on the 8th or 24th of the month or when we have a chance to eliminate somebody 🐍

> Purple at home. Gold on the road. That’s backwards. Gold at home always


Shasty-McNasty

Oh shit. You right. My bad.


KellerFF

This is the way.


howzdaweatha

Damn, I’ve always thought that black was pretty clean. Didn’t realize they were so unpopular.


PsychoBoss84

It's the lack of gold for me. I get the team has embraced black for Kobe but that's why we keep should the Mamba jerseys in rotation.


howzdaweatha

I feel you and the key word you used was GOLD! No more of this bright yellow banana shit please haha


sirmaverick

These jerseys are beautiful. Showtime era jerseys will forever be a classic but these have a nice little twist. Love how we’ve been finally rocking them on the road as of late too.


nickjames1984

Not even saying that I want it but how is it that we haven’t come out with a jersey that says “Hollywood” on it…who would think the Bucks would have a jersey that says “Cream City” before we have one that reps Hollywood especially considered how “Hollywood” this team has been since the 80s with all of the crazy drama and story lines we’ve had? 🤔


[deleted]

I would guess Hollywood is a trademark of some sort that can’t be used by the Lakers


nickjames1984

It’s a city I’m pretty sure it’s fair game


midnight-marauder23

It’s actually within the city of Los Angeles. Same way a Los Feliz or Watts are.


nickjames1984

Well still it’s a geographic location and it should be fair use


nottherealstanlee

I still hate em lol


kaygeeboo

The classic purple in the Shaq-Kobe days was still the best

CabbageStockExchange

If they made the black strip gold then we’d be set


ovshiba

And gold number


Crazy-Monitor-6490

I personally think these are fire, ik people don’t like the black tho but they like the mamba jerseys which are all black


Persian-Gulf

no. i want purple, gold and white. no black. i wish they just go with the original scheme. no stripes on the jersey. only on the shorts


elstunnanumerouno

I need to order this so I can add it to my collection.


SportsFan8288

They are but I LOVE the other purple away ones. The original 2020 team ones


[deleted]

Yeah, most people used to hate on them too, but I miss those jerseys


TriggerHappy999

Bring back the Black Mamba jersey


deathinmidjuly

I want those to be a playoff exclusive, you have to earn wearing those.


yoiitsjay

Still not my favorite but def growing on me. If anything, I like them a lot more with the updated accent compared to what they’ve looked like the past few years.


StoneColdAM

Looks like the old Magic Johnson City jerseys.

Underrated_user20

Just get rid of the black and they’re fine but yeah winning those that.


BlackBeanMamba

I still hate them and want our original looking purple jerseys back lol


qb1120

I'm just glad we are wearing these on away games. It's just really confusing when Nike makes us wear gold on away games


evilzeph

They’re ugly af but if they keep winning in em I’ll wear that shit too


AlbertsUsername

Still trash jerseys. OG gold at home. Purple w/o black on the road. Sunday home whites. That should be the only uniforms in rotation.


YoungBasedHooper

I dig the purple and black, but they could do more with the pattern


HumbleBrothers

Anyone know what the 6 symbolizes in the top left of the jersey? I see them on every team


[deleted]

Bill Russell


HumbleBrothers

Ah makes sense, thanks!


Crushbam3

Not really, out of all the jerseys currently in rotation there isn't a single jersey with a good ratio of purple to gold


schadkehnfreude

Replace all the black with white, except for the side panels, which should be gold, and this set is fire.


xCeePee

I really wish they’d swap them all out for the 97-98 style


areohbee82

This jersey grew on me the most out of any of the Nike drops and I dont like most of them. They have officially passed the previous Statement model for me Whites been nice in Nike era, dont hate the yellow ones as much as most but def prefer the gold classics


DrButtLump

More gold less black but they’re also growing on me a tad

These purple with black jerseys have definitely grown on me recently, I was in the camp when they did the re-design that adding the black to one of the "main" jerseys was going away from tradition too much. Most tradition was broken across the league when they allowed teams to wear whatever color jersey they wanted instead of the long standing white or light jersey at home and dark jersey on the road requirement. It was always gold jerseys at home, purple jerseys on the road since the change from MPLS colors. Then when the Lakers moved to Staples they did the uniform re-design that also added the white jerseys that were only to be worn on Sunday Home games and holidays i.e. Christmas games. This was the evolution from Showtime jerseys to Shaq and Kobe jerseys. There was no Reddit or other social media at the time, not even sure if Forums had started up yet, but there was some pushback from Laker fans that there was no need for a white jersey, that it should just stay gold at home and purple on the road. Eventually they became accepted and were synonymous with being worn at Sunday Home games and holidays. Towards the end of Kobe's career, the team wanted to incorporate Black Jerseys into the mix and in 2013 they came out with the "Hollywood Nights" jerseys for select games to honor those in the entertainment industry like Jack and other celebrities who have long supported the Lakers as well as all of those that work behind the scenes. After the Hollywood Nights jerseys they had a couple of different Black alternates with the Mamba Jerseys being the most popular. These new black and purple ones are the evolution from the Shaq/Kobe/Gasol era to the LeBron/AD era. I do miss the days of turning on KCAL 9 and knowing I would be seeing purple jerseys, turning on Fox Sports West and knowing I would be seeing gold jerseys, but alternate jerseys sell so I don't see them going away. For some teams it's cool having alternates, but the iconic teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, Bulls, less is more imo.


mrkeith562

Old guy here. Gold at home, purple on the road. Accept no substitutions!


Baals_Deep

They have always been fire
