I just really hope that the rule that prevented the purple jersey from being worn so late is done away with in year two of the contract. For a decade it was gold at home, purple on the road, and white on Sundays at home. And then last year everything went out the window. It really hurt to see the Lakers on the road in gold against the Suns in white. Or the Lakers wearing purple at home. I hope, like you, that Nike got all of that out of its system. 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...

Obviously the Lakers have a say, but I think Nike has some control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colortv Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 These two pictures are in conflict, look at the positioning of the white/purple piping on the arm/shoulder holes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the sake of suggesting a solution, one way they could have gotten around that would be to make the collar and arm stripe two colors instead of three (I’m thinking purple/white on gold, gold/white on purple, gold/purple on white), then do a simple bold outline instead of drop shadow on the numbers. Then it’s doing it’s own thing while still nodding to showtime, but also a much cleaner and less “off” nod too. Agree completely on that. The jersey looks rather stuffy in that picture and needs more white. If this is indeed the new jersey, I'm not liking it so far. Especially, when the previous set had nothing wrong to it and was perfect. Also, as already mentioned, the straight down going drop shadow doesn't work very well. I hate it when they fix designs that are not broken, and all that retro craze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Not sure I’ve seen a straight down shadow. Not sure why they do that rather than a traditionally-angled shadow. Between this and the Browns, it’s almost like Nike hates shadows.

Kaz Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 That's a bit of a downgrade. Not a fan of the number font if it ends up looking like that, and the uniform looks rather bland without the side panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The gold jerseys look fine, but white numbers (with gold shadow) on the purple would still look better. The shorts are just blah. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I like them. Just wish the dropshadow was a bit more pronounced, a bit more faithful to the original. That said, I do like how this is similar to the Showtime era but not a direct reproduction. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Pharos04 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I like these a lot. They feel like Classic Lakers but with a modern twist. And even if there is some resemblance towards the Celtics, they are two of the premier teams in the NBA as far as Championships are concerned. They should look the absolute best. Now if only they can fix the streaking logo to a true update of the water-droplet one shown a few pages back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's fine. "It could be worse" isn't much of an endorsement, but it'll do. The Clippers, on the other hand, now need to reflect on their life choices. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

FinsUp1214 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If the numbers on the purple were white, that’d be just about perfect. That’s definitely the strongest uniform of the three in my eyes. The gold still looks off though. I guess I just don’t like the way the colors are ordered on the sleeve and arm trim. Something about it just doesn’t look right.
