Lakers to Commemorate Franchise’s 75th Season With 1950s Jersey Throwbacks

The Lakers will tip off their 75th season in franchise history this upcoming fall and plan to commemorate the campaign with a special set of throwback jerseys.

The team unveiled its “Classic Edition” uniforms for the 2022–23 season, which will pay homage to the early years of the franchise. The jerseys will be a re-creation of the first-ever home uniform that the Lakers wore during the 1947–48 season, their first as an organization in the National Basketball League.

The white threads will feature light-blue and gold trim to honor the colors worn by the franchise during its tenure in Minneapolis in the 1950s.
