Perhaps this is should go to the piss and moan thread, but why the hell are my glorious Lakers donning florescent yellow jerseys?!?!

Who ever thought the gold needed an "updating" should be fired. Tall and skinny Javele literally looks like a highlight marker brought to life. Look at him tonight and it will be all you see. (Sorry!)

I was so happy they were bringing back the classic crew neck jerseys and old-school logos, but this yellow? Why??! Leave perfection alone.

Purple and GOLD. Is it really that complicated? Jeez.

End of Rant. Good bye.

i agree. i mean, by now, nike has heard the loud complaints on it and are not changing. i think their decision is to go as bright and fluorescent with colors as possible. stars are now wearing crazy bright shoes, and jerseys have same philosophy. they would have changed it by now, otherwise.

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Last year Jeanie acknowledged it, but she's done nothing it seems

I would’ve liked it way more if they went more gold vs looking like an advertisement for post-it notes.

As bad as that shade of yellow is, what's up with that ugly black stripe down the purple unis? That makes no sense at all.

Agree 100%. The yellow used is a curse to the team.

Agree, purple and gold only, no white or any other color.

Since we're on the topic of piss and moan, I'd like the see the short shorts make a comeback. Maybe once or twice a week like throwback jerseys day or something.

Maybe the bright neon yellow reflecting into our player’s eyes is causing their shooting slumps.

Nike doesn’t have access to the Lakers proper colours.

I've always been proud of Lakers' colors. This one looks like a cheap knockoff.

Agreed.


The comments on Twitter about these were hilarious. Things like: they look like reject swap meet jerseys.

They suck.
