Lakers unveil new, Showtime-inspired Nike jerseys

The Los Angeles Lakers have officially unveiled brand new, Showtime-inspired Nike jerseys as the team gets ready for the of a new era of Lakers basketball with LeBron James.

We got our first look at the home, or “Icon,” jersey on Thursday when an east coast-based sporting goods store, Modell’s, prematurely tweeted out a picture of the redesigned jerseys. The response from the fanbase was less than ideal for both Nike and the Lakers because of the jersey’s bright yellow color.

However, judging from the official video released by the team on Monday, the new unis are more gold then they are yellow.
