NBA Fans React To Leaked Potential Lakers Jerseys For 2023-24 Season: “These Are Mid”

• A post showing potential Lakers jerseys for the 2023-24 season has gone viral

• Lakers fans and NBA fans, in general, don’t seem to be big fans of the leaked design

• Many have suggested different Los Angeles Lakers jerseys for next season instead

The Los Angeles Lakers are called the Purple and Gold thanks to their iconic jerseys. But while the purple and gold jerseys are mainstays, another potential black jersey for the 2023-24 season has been leaked in a social media post. And the response from fans has been far from ideal. 

The Lakers are rumored to be rocking these jerseys next season.

While the color scheme isn’t different from things the Lakers have tried before, fans don’t seem to be vibing with these jerseys. 

Oh boy hopefully not https://t.co/SsbQFn1IV6

According to one fan, there are redeeming qualities about these jerseys, but the text and the font that the designers have chosen are not something that they’re big fans of. 

Colors are dope obviously. Laker black jersey is always sick but the Los Angeles text is weird. 🤔 https://t.co/jKbl2z7DWW

The Los Angeles Lakers have often had alternative jerseys that are white, and as one fan suggested, there is no need for Nike to be fixing something that is not broken in the first place. 

I will sound like an old head but no one needs to mess with the Lakers' jerseys. Purple, Yellow, White and of course their old cursive blue and white and call it a day https://t.co/3T6lzJDKyg

Another fan doesn’t even want the truly traditional colors, instead suggesting a different alternative altogether. 

Just wear the deep blue jerseys from 2021 this does not need to be this hard.

I don’t know what market research is leading the league to the conclusion that scrapping nice jerseys after one year just to put out new, uglier ones is a good idea, but it isn’t. https://t.co/c0W0hpvHg2

And while many fans had various criticisms and opinions on these potential jerseys, one fan didn’t pull any punches and kept it extremely simple. 

These mid. They might as well just bring the statement jerseys back. https://t.co/QrOLSOdxqj

NBA Fans Voted For And Chose The Greatest Lakers Jersey Of All Time

As mentioned above the Los Angeles Lakers have had black jerseys in the past, with a lot of fans loving them quite a bit. The team’s Black Mamba jersey, which was their City Edition strip during the 2017-18 season in honor of Kobe Bryant, was chosen as the GOAT Lakers jersey after a vote among NBA fans on social media. 

While the color scheme isn’t too different from these leaked ones, those jerseys are a little more special for reasons other than just the design. Regardless, it won’t matter what the team looks like on the court as long as they get the job done. 

LeBron James and Anthony Davis have the task to improve on last season’s Western Conference Finals appearance next year, and those expectations will not change regardless of what the jerseys look like. With the schedule now out and ready, the Lakers will be raring to go by the time late October rolls around.
