Broni James thinks they are “pretty nice.”
Max Christie says they are “superb.”
D’Angelo Russell declared them his “favorites”.
The Lakers have unveiled their 2024-2025 City Edition uniforms Tuesday, with a video that presents several players – those mentioned above, as well as LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves — sporting the new catches and reacting to them.
“Definitely a representation of the Lakers and the city, that’s for sure,” LeBron James said of the new uniforms in the video.
Dubbed the “California Destiny” uniform, it is one of at least four styles the Lakers will wear on the court this season.
“This might be my favorite,” Russell said. “I won’t even lie to you.”
The jersey features several firsts for a team uniform, with the words “Lake Show” replacing “Lakers” across the chest and a color progression that starts as black at the top and turns into purple lower down.
There are also nods to the past, including jersey numbers that mimic the style used from 1999 to 2017 and a logo along the belt that resembles one of the championship banners which hang from the Crypto.com Arena roofs
The Lakers also unveiled the City Edition court it will use when the players wear the jerseys. It features the gradient color effect along the perimeter, a large LA logo at midcourt, the words “Lake Show” on each baseline and solid black free throw lanes.
“Daaaang,” Bronny James said in the video. “The black is hard.”
His father added from the new court: “That’s pretty dope right there, baby.”
The City Edition jerseys will be available for purchase on November 14 at the team’s online store and personally at the LA team store at Crypto.com Arena or the Lakers Team Shop in El Segundo. The Lakers will wear them on the court for the first time during a Nov. 21 home game against the Orlando Magic.
