Just last week, the city of Los Angeles honored recent Lakers retiree Kobe Bryant, where his number 8 and number 24 jerseys are officially in Laker history.
Today, Decmber 27th, the Lakers unveiled their new Kobe Bryant-inspired ‘City Edition’ alternate uniforms.
The new all black uniform is detailed with shadowbox numbers and a snakeskin-like print, which honors Kobe’s ‘Black Mamba’ nickname.
Having helped Nike in the design of the uniform, the uniform also features an ‘LA 24’ on the belt buckle and the numbers 8 and 24 under the flap of each leg of the shorts.
The Lakers will wear the new jersey uniform for their January 26th game at Chicago.
Meet the newest addition to our uniform lineup. For the city. By @kobebryant. #LakeShow | #NIKExNBA
