Nike has their own specific color codes, so the Lakers probably had the choice between the lighter shade and the darker shade, and they obviously chose the former. If they had wanted the darker shade, that’s what they would’ve gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night's Pistons-Clippers game was a perfect example of that...it kinda threw me off a couple of times who's in what color (Pistons in white, Clips in blue). If not for the court, I would have forget that it was Staples Center instead of Little Caesars Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lakers were the only team to be granted the right to have the gold jersey designated as the home jersey back when they made that distinction, but since the gold jersey is now a color jersey, the Raptors were forced to wear the white jersey. It makes sense if the Lakers wore red, but doesn't make sense to us if they wear gold because we're used to gold being the home white. Besides contrast issues, it's stupid because it forces (?) the road team to wear white and you no longer have the color on color for most non-Sunday and non-Christmas day game matchups that Lakers typically had prior to this Nike nonsense.

I could be wrong, but when Nike took over the NFL a few seasons ago, didn't some teams need to adjust their colors to match Nike's palette? I can't find the news article that I'm thinking of. But it seems to me that the Celtic's would probably have been in a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, due to dye restrictions, Nike has their own specific set of colors, as did Adidas, and it’s up to the teams to pick out which of those colors best suit them. In certain cases the brands are able to produce more custom colors (think of the Eagles’ green and the difficulty Nike had trying to match it) but for more general colors it’s up to the teams to look at swatches and decide what they want to go with. On all other platforms it doesn’t seem like the Lakers have changed their color scheme, but the on-court products are definitely tinkered with a little bit. But that doesn’t mean that the Lakers intentionally wanted to change their shades of yellow and purple, it just comes down to which of the Nike swatches they felt best matched up with what they wanted.

Yeah, no, that's not entirely true. From my understanding beginning this year the choice is that the home team dictates their jersey and then the road team picks a contrasting color. That CAN force a team into a white jersey depending on the contrast between the home team and their team colors. But, really seeing the Raptors in white against a gold clad Lakers and white clad Lakers against the blue dressed Jazz is really up to the visiting team not the league. In the past though that was the case. I don't know when the rule was created (mid-80s I believe?) the Lakers were godfathered into the exception. I believe the Warriors were as well until they switched from gold to white home jerseys. Before this Nike switch I believe there were a number of times the Warriors' tried to get the exception again. Either way, I remember since secondary jerseys started being worn the Pacers, Sonics, Hawks, etc. who wore gold jerseys as their secondary jersey would wear them against a team dressed in their home white jerseys -- home and road. There were some exceptions here and there, but for the most part you'd see a Jazz-Sonics game in Seattle with the Jazz in white and Sonics in gold ... it drove me crazy. That's mostly changed the past few years with Silver in office and the easement on jersey color restrictions. Anyways, a little history lesson from my understanding. But, really, the choice now is with the teams and not the league -- as long as there is a big enough contrast. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

I'll rephrase that as "the Raptors might have been forced to wear the white jersey" but that was just my assumption. I might've also gotten the thing about the league not allowing certain colors to be worn (e.g. Lakers purple?) prior to a certain date confused with the Lakers wearing gold causing the Raptor to have to revert to their home jerseys.
