Don't think I've seen anyone mention it, but does it bother anyone else that the 'L' in the center logo and the 'L' in the baseline logos have a different width to the bottom horizontal stroke? Not sure why they changed it for the baseline logos...

Of course it does! 😂

 

To make it even worse, the L in the alternate logo doesn’t match the L in the center court logo or the L in the baseline logo.

I'm more curious as to why the wordmarks are pushed over to the sides like they are rather thx being centered on the baselines. (I noticed that with Memphis on their home floor as well...then again Memphis' home floor has been quirky for several seasons now.)

 

Has LAL been doing that for a while or is that something new?

Unofrtunately it is league wide thing since 2020/2021 and the reason is $$$. On the other side of baseline in regular season there are ads. Covid opened doors for that and no one wants to close them.

Not really correct, the Lakers wore their home uniforms on the road.

 

The sad reality is that's not even technically considered their "HOME" jersey since the gold jersey is considered their Icon Edition.

 

Thanks Nike.

I was commenting on game 4, Lakers in yellow at home and Dubs in blue.

 

Ah, my bad.

True, and these new uniform designations is what's screwed up.

It's just sad how such a classic look has been abandoned by the Lakers... they have to bring this back soon right?

By classic look you're referring to the short shorts, right?

 

 

BTW I prefer these unis even if the jersey and the shorts had mismatched purple (Forum blue) colors.

Huh? The shades match in that picture of Magic.

 

edit: This photo from the 1980s looks  like the team has consistent shades:

but older photos show two shades

I knew someone would say something but I just meant that there were many instances where the jersey looked mismatched and bluer than the shorts and other times the shorts looked mismatched and bluer than the jerseys.  I did not mean to imply that Magic had mismatched unis in that particular photo (though I can see how it might come across that way).  Still unsure whether posting UniWatch links is okay or frowned upon, but there was a nice writeup before in 2021 (with links).

Celtics haven't done white at home much these playoffs so that's nice to see. Miami's neo-traditionalism must have knocked some sense into them. I guess the Heat reds are technically "Statement" but I've always liked those more than the black ones, more distinctive even among other red teams due to the shade.
