PostPosted: Thu Dec 05, 2019 1:19 am    Post subject: Sunday Whites on the Road... Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on the Sunday white uniforms on the road and not on Sundays? The Lakers has to bring a “light” uniform on the road to contrast the darker city editions the home teams were wearing. I know traditionalists will probably be upset, but our banana yellow uniforms are god awful. The banana uniforms are so bad that the Lakers stated that they will re-evaluate the color next season. Supposedly, that’s the #1 fan complaint the Lakers are receiving this season. I’m not saying that’s the reason for the change, but the timing is suspicious.

Gold jerseys would've looked better against Denver and their dark unis. Against Utah it was either white or purple

I’d be happy if we just wore Purple and Gold every game. I don’t like the switching of uniforms for different games. It just feels like a blatant marketing tactic and for me it makes it harder to watch.

I suppose I'm an idiot for not knowing this sooner but apparently the players get 50% of jersey sales in terms of revenue - that pretty much explains everything (except the neon yellow).

Link?

I so want this banana yellow nonsense gone forever.

And while we're at it can we say PEACE to the black stripe on the purples too?

We are Purple & GOLD...not banana yellow...not black...

That damn banana yellow makes every loss worse and when we're crushing a team I still can't avoid the thought at some point during the game, 'THAT'S NOT OUR GOLD!' - Then AD does this



or Bron does this



and I feel a little better.

I actually like the whites as a Sunday’s/Christmas jersey so I’m cool with it on the road. But the Gold has to come back, and those are for Home games and Purples for Road games. A throwback and a black jersey would be ok for a couple games a year, but really let’s just get back to basics.

It’s all about making money though so they’re gonna have all these other jerseys.

There should be 4 jerseys

Purple for away jersey
Gold for home jersey
MPLS when we play wolves in Minnesota
Detroit Gems jersey when we play the pistons in Detroit

and that’s it. Only 2 alternates jersey for 3 games

The black jersey and the white jersey need to go ASAP
