F the league/Nike: “Bet on black for the Lakers in Vegas? Not so fast. The league wants L.A. in gold uniforms, despite the Lakers players’ preferences, sources told ESPN”

    I respect the players’ preferences and think they should be able to wear what they want unless the other team wears similar colors.

    Personally though, the black City Edition jerseys are not great this year.

  2. sahhhnnn

    I’m guessing the court is going to be black in Vegas.

  3. I feel like we get 10x boost attribute for our every black uniform.

    > When one Lakers player was informed the team wouldn’t be allowed to wear black on Thursday, he replied, “That’s ass.”

  5. That’s so weird, they’ve been pushing the city jerseys and courts so hard for the tournament games and then all of a sudden they take them away

    Because they want the Lakers in more traditional/ timeless uniforms for the trophy ceremony (especially since they’re going name the trophy after Bron). 😎

  7. I’m all for this. There’s too many GD jerseys.

    Just the Lakers? Doesn’t the 3 out 4 remaining teams also have black city jerseys? (Us, Nola, and Pacers)

    What the NBA/Nike is doing to team jerseys and courts should be considered basketball terrorism.

    The Lakers play good when they wear black. I guess the League wants them to lose.

    Remember when everyone hated these jerseys when the images first dropped?

  12. The league don’t want us to win, smh. Those black jerseys just unlock a whole new level for the players.

    Lakers are #1 seed. They should definitely get to pick their jersey color!

    Pelicans can wear Smoothie King red.

    Honestly, I’m fine with the Lakers in gold in Vegas. Black is an overused color in the entire league.

    Lakers already stand out by having classic gold uniforms.

    Aren’t most of the in season tournament courts based on the city jerseys?

    League probably wants all the teams in their most iconic jerseys for the finals photos.

    Except we don’t have gold uniforms anymore

  17. bigla420
