LakeShow24 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The wordmark "Los Angeles" is so out of place in that jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure how it's a tribute to Magic-era Lakers. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendocfc Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This is rather terrible but: Orlando MAGIC wear pinstripes. The player honoured is MAGIC Johnson. Get it? No? I'll find the exit myself,thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 This is just disgusting. I'm trying to imagine what my reaction would be if Adidas did this to the Leafs. I don't think I could remain calm talking about it. I'm sorry Nike had to ruin half of your team's uniforms, Lakers fans PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did however return from retirement just to play in the 1992 All-Star Game which took place in Orlando. Not justifying it, but I'm just saying there's a weird coincidence here. I definitely don't like this jersey as much as the Black Mamba jersey but I'm also not mad at it because as stated before in this thread by me and several others it's just an alternate. This City stuff isn't so bad, I mean seriously, think about what was worn in the past.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that. I'm glad it was fixed. Even though it made the 9 unique, it just always looked wrong to me having the inner portion rounded off.

That’s a terrible argument. The existence of bad uniforms in the past does not mitigate the existence of bad uniforms in the present. Each uniform needs to be judged solely on its own merits, and on that basis the City stuff is pretty ing bad. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

It's one of the most unnecessary things I can recall seeing in any uniform - I'm really struggling to come up with a comparison. I really need to see that contract. @dfwabel - get on it.

I totally agree with this. The jersey should have been black with purple pinstripes. It would've been pretty cool but instead they had to make another purple jersey.

The teams are a part of the process too Because at least Adidas had the good sense to not ruin the base uniforms of classic teams. People would like the Lakers Magic jersey more if the traditional road purple hadn't been ruined. And Nike's the one who put that black stripe on the side for reasons no one will or should ever understand. On the other hand, the Cavs won a title in basically their worst look ever, so maybe that means good things for the Lakers this year. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excatly, ok Magic played few games in 90's, but he is mostly a guy from 80's. BTW these pinstripes are made from "3X5XSHOWTIME" text, which is of course a references to Earvin's 3xMVP and 5xChampion.

SuperNerdToTheRescue Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 It's nice to see the long history of knockoff Lakers gear being honored with this set. Also, is this the first Lakers uniform since the Elgin Baylor days to have the city name on the jersey? They've reinstated it with such class.
