Lakers City Edition jersey unveiled, fans excited about the Blue and White colourway
This jersey will be a part of the Lore Series for the Lakers, which lets icons create some custom design. The first was done by late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who made one for the 2017-18 season. This season, the Lakers brought back the jersey for their championship run at the NBA bubble. After Lakers greats Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal, Baylor has helped with the latest blue, grey and white colourways.
This edition will feature traces of both – the team's time in Minneapolis and the Showtime era. Previously, there were rumours about the Lakers coming back with a jersey bearing resemblance to their classic jersey. Lakers will complete 60 years in Los Angeles after their relocation from Minneapolis in the 1960-61 season. Per the league rules, teams can wear an older design to celebrate a milestone.
