I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this means nothing. They're never going to ditch the golds as the primary home jersey. It's too iconic. It'd be like Michael Jackson suddenly abandoning the glove or the moonwalk.
Maybe he just brought the wrong jersey by mistake? Or maybe someone else did? Who knows? Or maybe they're planning to use the purples as an alternate jersey every once in awhile just to change things up a bit?
Lonzo was wearing the golds at his post-draft photoshoot. And so was the jersey he was presented with at his introductory presser. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

They had to make their white jersey the Association jersey because every team assigned white for that one. Then after that, yellow is Icon and purple is Statement. There's no home, away, and alternate anymore. Just some stupid Nike (bleep). |

Funny how every team can make money off new jersey designs and (bleep) and we are stuck with the same three colors since the League screwed us by assigning the Association jersey as the white jersey. And it's obvious we're not dumping purp and gold. No way. |

Whatever the order, our first three colors were almost certainly going to be Purple, Gold, and White. |

We're still getting 1 completely new jersey and 1 retro one fellas. Ignore the dumb Nike names. All that matters is the home team now picks the jerseys that away team must pick a contrasting one. Gone are the days of old when you could rely on the home team wearing their "home" jersey.
I'm more traditional but that way is gone now |

For us it is since we're not making major changes. For other teams that change their jerseys every few years it's a big deal.
What a pain for equipment managers though. Instead of bringing one uniform on long road trips they have to bring multiple. Every team will have to publish a list ahead of time of all home team uniform choices throughout the season. If it's going to be home team choice I don't understand why the league mandates every team have a white (Association) uniform.

Yeah, just a money maker. Can't believe jerseys are going to be at least $200 now. I remember when stitched jerseys were $75 back in like 2004 when I bought the old school blue Lakers jersey. |

All teams get 4 styles and 8 teams get 5... guessing we'll be one of those. Still more to come. |

As much as I hate the whites, I hate when we wear gold on the road as much. Feels so wrong. |

It seems like Nike screwed our Gold. It seem waaay too bright, almost like one of those marker pens, specially on the white and purple jerseys |

They should only wear the gold jerseys at home, strictly.
On the road, when teams go dark at home, they should wear white.
Gold Laker unis should be reserved for home game only. No more white at home, even on Sundays. |
