However.....this time, they really, really need to clean up their primary logo... It needs an update more than their uniforms do... Negative. The logo itself is more iconic than Magic Johnson 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree. I used to think the Lakers’ logo needed a facelift, but every attempt at doing it looks worse. The Lakers’ logo is a bit rough, but it’s earned its classic status. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a full makeover in the works Could be because he may change his number too. Is that on all jerseys, not just Lebron? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Lakers’ logo is a bit rough, but it’s earned its classic status. I used to think this about the Carolina Hurricanes. Every concept with warning flags was worse than the original jerseys until the recent design team came up with the subliminal pattern idea for the flags. The Canes jerseys now look great, up to date, and look like the Canes again. I think if the Lakers hire the right designers, something nice can be done. Even if it's just subtly minor changes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolphins Dynasty 1,425 Posted July 6, 2018 The drop shadow on the numbers was a product of it's time. Don't bring it back, please.... it's dated. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duck_Duck 385 Posted July 6, 2018 LeBron should have "LeBron" on the back of his jersey instead of James. He goes by his first name everywhere anyway. He's like Neymar or Ichiro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BringBackTheVet 9,541 Posted July 6, 2018 So this is a primary jersey redesign? How did this slip through the cracks without anyone knowing (or hinting) about it? I thought they did a great job last time they redesigned, and I'm not sure how they can improve upon it without looking too much like the Magic-era uniforms. Maybe keep the current cut but bring back the side stripes and purple numbers w/ shadows? Or the opposite - go back to the old template but keep the current numbers? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BringBackTheVet 9,541 Posted July 6, 2018 Just now, Ice_Cap said: Ichiro uses that on his jerseys because that his surname. Not sure tha'ts true. In Japanese, his name is Suzuki Ichiro, so Ichiro is his given name. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CS85 6,930 Posted July 6, 2018 I'd be down for something along the lines of this: The Christmas uni was kind of copy-pasta'd around the league, but going to something script-y/flow-y like that would be appropriate for the franchise. Keep it minimalist/classic and don't you dare do what the Clippers did. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowld 1,364 Posted July 6, 2018 How did this slip by Conrad? Or did he just remain silent? Not much bigger news than a team like the Lakers getting a complete uni rebranding 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

who do you think 59 Posted July 6, 2018 The logo is a classic. It stays. I'm okay with the idea of a uniform change (their set got hit hard by Nike), but I have doubts that they're going to get it right. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
