Most of the Laker jerseys these days are a joke. Not sure how to get that point across to Nike and the Laker mgmt team outside of speaking with our wallets. |

Ok...that's my lawn comment for the year. |
I'll add to that..
1- Correct color of gold
2- Gold always at home
3- Remove black stripe (though the black has grown on me)
4- Drop the Sunday whites altogether |
I don't mind the new jersey. What was your favorite lakers jersey? Maybe if I can compare this one to the ones you guys like I'll see what you guys are talking about. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better” |

it's a sad time where the white jerseys are somehow our "best" - and to be clear I agree that they are considering how horrid the yellows and purples are _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way |

assuming that they're actually gold, I honestly don't hate them other than the stars on the sides _________________ one dog goes that way the other dog goes the other way |

Yeah they’re not bad and 1000000x better than last years City editions. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

The side panels are hideous. The rest is aight.
Also I don’t like the blues. I like throwbacks that are at least close to the (now classic) team colors. Penguins alt uni a few years back were the powder blue’s the team wore in the 70’s. It thankfully did not last long. |

Nike, just cut the crap and do the right thing
Gold at home
Purple on the road
White on home sundays
Classic jersey every once in a while
That's it |

Trash. How can they keep finding ways to mess up something that started out so perfect? |

Jerseys have been an absolute flop since Nike took over. I wouldn't wear these things if they were given to me for free. Ugly ugly ugly. |

As long as it's gold ... I actually like them. If it's that piss yellow then it's horrible though. |

I actually think the white jerseys are basically perfect, and the gold jerseys would be if they were actually the right color gold. The purple jerseys would be much better if they simply took away the black side panel on the jersey and made the side panel on the shorts gold.
The city jerseys for the last two years have been absolutely horrific though. Like mind-bogglingly bad. Like, just bring back the black "mamba" jerseys that everyone loved, or do a throwback. No need to do these ridiculous re-designs that look like they were designed by a 12 year old playing 2k. |

I don't understand why they didn't go with a purple side panel on these. The gold on gold looks weird. |

I was wondering why there were only six stars.
I'm guessing they represent the six NBA teams he played for? _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

So basically just get rid of what makes them ugly and they're perfect. I agree! |

The Mambas are the best city edition of any team's since Nike started this. I agree last year's city edition were not good. Ungodly shade of purple and with pin strips to boot.
Nike already has a jersey category for throwbacks (retro). I hope we get a new one this year. Did the team even wear the MPLS jerseys last season? If the city edition is yellow this year, maybe we'll get the original LA blue jerseys. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

White (Magic) - mayo
Yellow (Lakers) - buns
Black (Heat) - burger
Purple (Suns) - onions
Red (Cavs) - tomato
Green (Celtics) - lettuce

Lebron has a lifetime deal with Nike. The Lakers are the most popular sports team world wide. Nike says, “IFGAF”. |
