Our Jerseys 

Post#1 » by SashaTheMachine » Sun Oct 23, 2016 10:32 pm

Three days until the season guys, hold on.

First off, I'm not saying anything is wrong our current v-necks, but after reading that the team will be wearing the '80's throwback jerseys for select games, it is something I wanted to talk to the community about.

Image

In terms of our current jerseys: if it isn't broken, then don't fix it. However, I have always loved the '80's jerseys that they wore during showtime. Aesthetically it has always looked very pleasing to me. I remember early in the '07/'08 season, the team brought them out against the Celtics. Remember? With the short shorts and DFish looking extra leggy like the green M & M. They reverted back to their usual-lengthed shorts at half-time. It just didn't look right - mostly due to the fact that the jerseys themselves were too big in correlation with the shorts.

Image


ANYWAYS, as excited I am to see them on the court this year, I wanted to ask you guys about the current state of our jerseys.

They're clean and already an instant classic, especially winning five titles in the ensembles. I'm glad that we are lucky enough to be fans of a team that doesn't perpetually dish out new ugly jerseys every other year, like some teams.

Now I know that we switched to the new v-neck jerseys during the inauguration of STAPLES - due in part to the new identity and players.

Now, it probably won't happen for the foreseeable future, but do you think that the Lakers will entertain the idea of altering their jerseys, especially with this new identity post-Kobe?

Again, I like our jerseys and think they're already established as one of the cleanest in the leagues and I have no gripes about them - they're modern, simple, and already iconic. I just have always like the collared showtime themed jerseys.

If anything, what are your favorite jerseys that the Lakers have brought out and would you okay with the team making any alterations or changes in that department?

I think sleeved jerseys are a joke. It seems like half the league has a grey alternate sleeved jersey. Though, inevitable with ads?

I love the baby blue ones with the 4 stars. Those are clean.

I hate that adidas will be putting the NBA logo on the back, then need to keep it in the front for these retros.

I'm curious to see what Nike will do with jerseys next year. Not just to our jerseys, but to the whole league...

Why not combine the 80's font and numbers but with the v-neck shirt design of today? I think it would look great.

Honestly, I don't too much care. Whenever I think of Lakers, it's Gold. Prob my fave jersey for that reason.

I never wear V-necks...but on a jersey, it's whatever to me.

I second that. Nice idea. Along with maybe the same 80's trim down the shorts.

I pride myself on being objective, but in this case I'm slightly biased. I absolutely love the eighties jerseys they wore during the Warriors game. I even feel like it gave the team a little extra mojo. Those jerseys are a thousand times better than the current ones.

Also, I hate it when they wear gold jerseys on the road (when the home team wears their dark jerseys). Those gold jerseys are sacred to me and, IMO, they should never be worn outside of L.A. -- never.

I'd much rather they do away with "Sunday whites" and only wear white on the road when the home team goes dark.

Bring back the 80s jerseys full-time, and (only) wear the current whites on the road. Rant over.

I'm sorry, somebody please explain to me otherwise, but those uniforms are pure gold. Somebody start a petition.

Lakers need to bring those back ASAP. The ones they have now pale in comparison. The old ones are energetic and unusual. The new ones would probably only appear better looking if you wore it with a sport coat.

Bring them all the way back.
