Better than the 2000's logo at the knees! |

The purple and gold being the #3 jersey had better not mean they're going to wear the whites more often. |

Until they bring back the classic 80s Showtime joints, I will be dissatisfied. Why mess with perfection? |

I'm afraid it means they'll be wearing the golds on the road a lot more often. It always bugs me to see those on the road. |

Same. It will definitely happen more. Nike made it so there is not "home" or "road" jerseys anymore |

I bet we continue to use the same formula. Gold most days at home with White on Christmas and Sundays. Purple on the road unless it conflicts with the home team. When that happens, maybe we use gold or whatever the 4th color is.
I think because the 4th color and the 5th Classic jersey are unique, we'll actually wear those at home a bit too so the fans can see them. |

Within a couple of weeks, I'm visiting some friends in the small german town of Herzogenaurach, which happens to be the headquarters of adidas, where they have a huge outlet. I'm already praying to find some Lakers stuff there, though they don't usually have a lot of NBA stuff around. But, considering they will get a lot of returned merchandise... _________________ .... |

The jerseys look alright, the shorts (mainly the waistband logo) look completely terrible. |

I'll give it some more time, but I actually don't mind the extra logo. Other than that, I just want them to bring back the shadow design. _________________ "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up."-The Greatest |

I've grown to like it but wouldn't have missed it either.
It might not have been a option and just a modification of the compromise between the league and the Lakers. Association is white jerseys for everyone now but the Lakers still get to keep gold as one of their other four jerseys. Since the home team gets to pick whichever jersey they want they can continue using golds with Sunday whites. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

Yeah I miss those jerseys, the jerseys we wore up until like 99 were my favorite. Also love the older blue jerseys from Elgin's days and the baby blue MPLS jerseys. |

Maybe I'm in the minority but the shadow was, by far, my largest problem with the classic unis. I think it looked tacky and am glad it didn't make a comeback. |

Whoa I just saw some 2k18 pics and the name on the back is going to be a solid purple text? No longer white text for last names? Such a petty thing to get worked over but it's a pretty big change IMO |

More City Edition jerseys:

and here:

Cali leading the way IMO. Like the Lakers, Warrriors, and Kings' designs. Cavs jersey not bad. Pistons looked like they just copied the Pacers.
Kobe helped design ours.

Quote: | The idea came to Kobe Bryant right away when his longtime collaborators at Nike told him the Lakers wanted their fourth jersey -- the so-called "city edition" -- designed in his honor: a snakeskin pattern to play off of his "Black Mamba" nickname.
"The snake came to me immediately," Bryant says. "It came to me so fast, I was thinking, 'This can't be that easy. This idea is not going to work.' I spent months trying to talk myself out of it. But in the end, simplicity always wins." |
