A lot of 1960's card didn't contain the original logo's of most NBA teams.

This was the first logo used in LA in 1968 by the Lakers after owner Jack Kent Cooke bought the team.

I'm guessing it was a temp logo, the card is from 1961-62. They had only been in LA 2 seasons.

The purple version of the shirt adds a nice Lakers touch.
