The Los Angeles Lakers have been referred to as the ‘purple and gold’ for as long as anyone can remember. Last season, however, there were some concerns about the color of the team’s home uniforms.
With Nike taking over NBA jerseys, the Lakers’ home jersey seemed far closer to a bright yellow than the normal gold that fans are used to. They will soon be unveiling new jerseys ahead of this upcoming season, but a leaked picture, didn’t do much to ease fans concern about the color scheme.
The color looked even more yellow than before and backlash was swift.
