Last season the Los Angeles Lakers and Nike created the Lore Series, which honors a franchise legend each year by allowing them to design a City Edition uniform that will only be worn for that specified season.
For the 2018-19 NBA season, the honor was bestowed upon Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson. As the on-court architect of the Showtime, Johnson opted to pay homage to that era of Lakers basketball with a purple look that incorporates personal touches.
The purple uniform is complete with the full team name across the chest, black trim, numbers, and the full team name across the front of the chest to go with black trim, and black font and jersey numbers that both have a yellow border.
