This sunday - Lakers go retro!

I can’t wait for this personally. Lakers will done their old uni’s from the ’80’s. Over at the official Lakers’ blog, they posted some comparison pictures…

While at first glance, the 1987-1988 jerseys might not appear drastically different from the Lakers’ current game wear, there are actually several notable changes.

For starters, while the Lakers infamous purple and gold color scheme has remained the same over the years, the current jerseys feature purple more prominently (i.e. lining down the side of the jersey) and have also added white as the prominent color featured in the jersey numbers, instead of the 1980’s purple, and removing the drop shadow.
