The previous Lakers set was infinitely better than what they’re using now. What a huge downgrade, IMO; although I suppose it could have been hard to stay in those in light of the Kobe tragedy.

pelicanfan Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Isn't what the lakers have now the closest thing to what they had during the Magic era? Excluding the statement and city editions of course. I don't see the big deal. It's not old so it's bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be white numbers on purple without the black piping. It’s literally just a copy of their showtime uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's that the Kobe era unis were superior to what they wore during Magic's time to me, and there really was nothing wrong with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenTino Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I’m not sure white numbers would look as good on the current gold Lakers jersey because it’s lighter than the gold that has been used historically and would provide less contrast.

Indigo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 This might be an unpopular opinoin, but if the Lakers black stripe was limited to the shorts, it might look better and be consistent with the Home and "Sundays" jerseys.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The Clippers court is so dark and muddy. It makes the stadium look like a basement. They really need to add some color to the whole Clippers presentation. It's like their uniforms are Dodgers colors, but everything else is the Brooklyn Nets. I don't get it. 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...
Indigo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The old court they used was just fine. There was black, but the paint was red & blue, as it should be. The map on the "apron" (as 2k calls it) of LA can stay, but everything else need more color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, they could've worn yellow against the Clippers, it's not their home game technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to be upset when we start wearing white on the road games coming up as lockervision has projected. That’s more stupid than anything. they wore them earlier this year on a B2B against the Jazz (Red Rocks) and Nuggets (black) but these upcoming games are almost unnecessary. Lakers have stated they just didn’t want to overuse the yellow because our purple jerseys don’t really contrast well with teams wearing more colors at home. But the purple jerseys being as awful as they are, idc if they wore them every game lol. Which makes me wonder: what they will do next year for their statement uniforms? Last year we had the purple Magic set, but I’m curious if Nike does something like a gray uniform? My gut tells me they’re going black though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanfan Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I think the clippers should keep what the court has now except make the key have color in it like they did last season. And a crazy idea I had since last season is maybe make one side of the court have a red key and the other side blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colortv Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 If the current purple Laker jerseys followed the template of the gold/white(not just removing the black stripe, but also matching the shoulder/neck striping format) this would be the best Laker jersey set in my opinion. Gold numbers on the purple was long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold numbers on the purple was long overdue. I just now saw the perspective that Nike probably introduced black to help with accessories? Like AD and his black cat suit; if it were purple would it be too much? I think yellow stripes on the purple uniform, (a simple copy&past from Showtime) with colored accessories for the Lakers would be dope, it bums me out they don’t do it anymore. It’s been white and black all year. white numbers with the purple uni, yellow shorts panel work is because the size of the white number gives it more pop. (in comparison to black planels and yellow numbers) I personally think the all purple look is a good look here, but the black is truly unnecessary. This exact look with yellow (shorts only) would do perfectly with white numbers. Yellow panels would make it too much yellow with the number, that’s where white brings the balance and completion. {{this entire look is weird, and jumbled, and muddy. Ew is what it looks like}} also, I would love to see the Lakers with purple accessories with the gold uni. It looks pretty good too (not sure if white numbers makes the combo pop) white socks for balance, purple sleeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicanfan Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 yikes really don't understand what the warriors were thinking with the city editions. At least the old statement jerseys (what the current city editions are based off of) had yellow blue and white. What they have now just looks like black and grey. And then you have a black and white clippers as the away team. Not a good look on a bright yellow court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
