The Dogg Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The Lakers are wearing a "throwback" today. It's supposed to be from the West/Chamberlain era, but the name font is from the current jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yeah, and it's rather distracting... looks like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that pic, the waistbands appear to be solid purple; the waistband on the shorts today are striped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoTheo Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 In spite of the flaws, they're pretty sweet unis. To me the biggest flaw is how huge the jerseys are, Kobe's is just hanging off of him, looks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamdawg1 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 They should use the Drop Shadow Style on the Current Unis. Looks Great and easier to read from far away. George Ashburn - My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland9 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 my only issue is the waistband stripe pattern matching the rest of the stripes, other than that i really liek it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrypep Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Despite the inaccuracies, this style of uniform is infinitely better than the WNBA style they use today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I love those shadow numbers.Me too. Many of the NFL concepts that I do (pencil/paper) use that font. I think it'd look sweet on a football jersey. Something about the "3" and "2" just look awesome, especially together.

Lights Out Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I love those shadow numbers.I don't. They look horrible and clunky. The current ones work so much better. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 That wordmark has always bothered me. The "S" just looks so out of place, like it was just tacked on at the last second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 That's not the current wordmark, It's the old wordmark but not tilted.Here's the current...and according to the graphic on the main site, the waistband is right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Each one of those previous Lakers unis are almost perfect.If they used the stripes of the 80/90s unis (white/purple/white) and the numbers of the 60s unis, I think that'd be the perfect Lakers combo. Those drop shadows also take me back to the early Kobe years. Kobe with his small fro and the drop shadow numbers. It's too bad that they switched those unis just before the 99/00/01 three-peat.EDIT:Actually looking at the main site archives. I basically want the '74-'78 unis, but with a horizontal/non-slanted wordmark: | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 The Lakers seem to stink it up when they wear throwbacks at home. I'm sure there are counterexamples, but this is the second time in recent memory I recall the Lakers losing at home to the Celtics while wearing throwbacks. Heck, a few years ago they even lost at home to the Wizards while wearing throwbacks. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
