Are the Showtime Lakers Jerseys Back for the LeBron Era?

LeBron may be rocking a different style of purple and gold when he takes the floor on opening night according to now-deleted photos from the sporting goods store Modell's.

The photos harken back to the Showtime era Lakers of the 1980s. The jerseys feature a lighter shade from the jerseys of Kobe and Shaq's tenure in Los Angeles.

New Lakers jerseys for the upcoming season may be unveiled at the end of the month. No official announcement has been made by the Lakers yet.

While James' jersey may mirror those donned by Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he'll have a long way to go to match their accomplishments in Hollywood.
