Elgin Baylor Helps Unveil Lakers Classic Jersey For 2020-21 Season

The Los Angeles Lakers have delighted their fans with many stunning jersey designs since Nike took over the NBA apparel contract.

A new light blue, grey, and white uniform designed by Elgin Baylor has joined the Lore Series family, which includes the famous Black Mamba jersey created by the late Kobe Bryant himself, as the latest City Edition collection.

And the Lakers revealed Baylor also created the new Classic set, a modern twist on the franchise’s royal blue look the 86-year-old Hall-of-Famer and his teammates donned as the away jersey in the 1960s.

Baylor’s design is a throwback to the pre-purple and gold era in Lakers history.
