The Los Angeles Lakers have one of the most iconic uniform designs in all of sports. The design has seen some tweaks over the years, but it has largely remained the same, generally speaking, for over 50 years.
Every team has four uniforms it can wear, which include the City Edition uniforms. The Lakers’ City Edition uniforms for the 2024-25 season weren’t well regarded, and they played so poorly in them that they stopped wearing them around midseason.

This coming season, the Lakers will be recycling their City Edition uniforms from the 2023-24 campaign, per the team’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.
When this design was first unveiled two years ago, plenty thought it was at least somewhat uninspired and even boring. The fact that the team is simply using it again instead of coming up with a new one has led to fans expressing their disappointment.
On a brighter note, the Lakers’ Statement Edition uniforms have been improved. The black stripe down the sides that they had has been removed, and the team’s wordmark and the player numbers are now in white with gold trim.
Now, if only L.A.’s Icon Edition uniforms would go with gold instead of yellow as their primary color, the team’s fans would likely be happy enough with its on-court threads.
