The 2023-24 Los Angeles Lakers City Edition uniforms have transformed the City of Angels into the City of Dreams.
When the Lakers first arrived in the city, they brought with them a legacy, already boasting five championships from their Minneapolis days. These new uniforms represent the evolution of the Lakers’ identity.
The uniform serves as a narrative of the Lakers’ journey. The black uniform symbolizes their arrival in L.A., a time when they were still defining their identity.
The Los Angeles triangle wordmark harkens back to their early basketball days, reflecting their beginnings on the west coast in the 1960s. To further honor their history, the numbers on the jerseys mirror the style used from 1999 to 2017.
The belt buckle prominently features “LAL,” a city symbol and an acronym for “Leave Your Legacy.” Additionally, the official partial logo appears on the short panels, emphasizing the importance of embracing change and growth rather than resisting it.
