New ‘Lake Show’ jersey ‘a representation of the Lakers and the city’ of L.A., LeBron James says
Bronny James thinks they’re “pretty nice.â€
Max Christie says they’re “super cool.â€
D’Angelo Russell declared them his “favorite.â€
The Lakers revealed their 2024-2025 City Edition uniforms Tuesday, with a video that features several players — the ones mentioned above, as well as LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves — sporting the new duds and reacting to them.
“Definitely a representation of the Lakers and the city, that’s for sure,†LeBron James said of the new uniforms in the video.
Bronny James’ jersey from his first NBA Summer League game sells for $38,400. It’s being added to a private collection that includes artifacts from LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and others.
Dubbed the “California Destiny†uniform, it is one of at least four styles the Lakers will wear on the court this season.
“This might be my favorite,†Russell said. “I’m not even gonna lie to you.â€
The jersey features several firsts for a team uniform, with the words “Lake Show†replacing “Lakers†across the chest and a color progression that starts as black at the top and transforms into purple farther down.
There are nods to the past as well, including jersey numbers that mimic the style used from 1999 to 2017 and an emblem along the waistband that resembles one of the championship banners that hang from the Crypto.com Arena rafters.
Women of Wrestling co-owner Jeanie Buss talks about the league’s journey over the decades, LeBron and Bronny James and the Lakers’ upcoming season.
The Lakers also unveiled the City Edition court it will use when the players are wearing the jerseys. It features the gradient color effect along the perimeter, a large LA logo at midcourt, the words “Lake Show†at each baseline and solid black free-throw lanes.
“Daaaang,†Bronny James said in the video. “The black is tough.â€
His dad added of the new court: “That’s pretty dope right there, baby.â€
The City Edition jerseys will be available for purchase Nov. 14 at the team’s online store and in person at the Team LA store at Crypto.com Arena or the Lakers Team Shop in El Segundo. The Lakers will wear them on court for the first time during a Nov. 21 home game against the Orlando Magic.
The Lakers will honor the late Jerry West on opening night with a ceremony and all season with a band on the left shoulder of their uniforms, the team announced Tuesday.
