pepis21 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I hope shorts will be like on City uniforms, because Celtics ripoff which will be a disaster for Lakers fans (not for a Celtics, which could make jokes about that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I love it. The Lakers basically adopt the Celtics uniform template and they're championed as "modern." That's fun. I think these uniforms look fine, though it really doesn't feel like the Lakers without those wide panels on the shorts. They've had some sort of side panel for most of their L.A. history. Seems like a strange knockoff without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the Yankees pinstripes. Not sure why wouldn't include them. Other issue we must face is these unis will be branded "the LeBron uniform" now. If they are not well received they will blame him for changing their look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadojoker Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Lakers always do a good job with their uniform tweaks. Nothing too major but subtle. Overall a very clean modern take on a classic uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the jerseys not having sans-side panels, but the lack of those side panels on the shorts is really hurting the overall look. The gold uniforms seem too gold, the purple uniforms seem too purple, and the white uniforms seem too white. Those pronounced side panels always broke the base colour up, but they're gone now.

The jerseys are too purple and gold. If the drop shadow isn’t going to be bigger than the numbers need to be white on both the gold and purple. Part of me believes all these mockups are wrong..

That’ll stick out like a sore thumb on the new poster boy. The bottom of the 2 and the bottom of the 3 are very different in form.. I'd expect the serifs to be different.. 3, 5, & 9 should be similar at the bottom.. 1, 4, & 7 as well.. 6, 8, 0.. 2 is a lone soldier in regards to bottom serifs..

The bottom of the 3 obviously has that angled notch that the 2 doesn’t have, but the length of the serifs are still different. The serif on the 3 rises much higher than that of the 2. It’s less noticeable on the showtime era set given the extra thick shadows. However, the new set makes the discrepancy stick out more since the shadow is much less pronounced. I don’t see a reason why the bottom serif of the 2 doesn’t rise to the same height as the 3 does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual serifs are the same height.. The 3 has that extra angled notch you mentioned, which raises its serif slightly higher than that of the 2, which isn't elevated by an extra angled notch.. The vertical portion is exactly the same on both numbers though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I don't think it would look bad if the serif on the 2 were taller to match the 3 (it may actually look better honestly), but I don't see any issue with it as-is..

kerlonmoura Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The numbers are too thin and the colors unfortunately still don't look right, a downgrade if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Is it me or does the gold (and/or purple) look duller than in the past. Also I'd say the sleeve trim is a downgrade from what Kobe/Magic are wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'm very glad they removed the logo from the waistband. It destroyed the look, IMO. I hope the Bulls also remove theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In these leaks and the mock-ups the white areas are so thin that they basically get lost between the purple and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
