The Uniform Collection
Icon Edition
Lakers Gold
The transition from powder blue and white to the now quintessential purple and gold was motivated by regal aspirations. To this day, Lakers gold is representative of the wisdom, quality, and success of our organization.
Notice, the purple belt blocking is a heritage tie to the spirit of Showtime.
Association Edition
Lakers White
After 35 years of purple and gold, the Lakers introduced our white uniforms at the start of the 2002-03 season. The color denotes our affinity for conscious change. The introduction of a white uniform was an idea before we made the move to STAPLES Center, but was a vision brought to life after our first three-peat in Los Angeles.
Notice, the tape detail encompassing all the Lakers colors.
Statement Edition
After seven years at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, we moved to the Forum in 1967. In addition to the new arena, the Lakers’ owner at the time, Jack Kent Cooke, instituted a new color scheme — purple and gold. He felt the hues gave us a regal connotation. Today, in addition to purple and gold, the black paneling acknowledges the Showtime era.
Notice, the “Leave a Legacy” script above the jock tag. This detail is a nod to 2020, the year the franchise won their 17th title.
2023-24 Nike City Edition
Debuting, the California Dream
This uniform portrays the evolution of the Lakers' identity. This is who we started as in LA; a team ready to accomplish their dreams.
Notice, the Los Angeles Lakers triangle wordmark is a throwback from our early basketball days and was a symbol we repped when we first started playing on the West Coast in the sixties.

The Uniform Philosophy
Stay informed about the Lakers uniforms.
Why are we wearing purple at home? Why are we wearing gold on the road? Why are we wearing white when it’s not Sunday or a holiday?
We’re a team built on tradition, always have been. Our fans find comfort in the dependable nature of who we are. And who we are will never change, but we’re constantly evolving. We’ll do whatever we need to when it comes to the best interest of the game.
Enter uniforms —
It’s pretty simple, the home team picks what uniform they wear at home, the visiting team must wear the opposite. If they choose their dark uniform, we wear our light uniform, and vice versa.
Traditionally, we try to honor wearing our White Association Edition on Sundays and holidays, our Purple Statement Edition on Wednesdays, our City Edition at home, and our Gold Icon Edition every other time at home.
Sometimes we have to go with a different game plan.
Bottom line, it all really comes down to representing our name on the front of the uniform as best we can – and that never changes. That game plan’s always the same.
