Lakers City Edition uniform

Despite the passing of Kobe Bryant on January 22 of last year, the Los Angeles Lakers have continued to pay tribute to the legend. On July 31 of this year, they announced that they would be wearing “Black Mamba” City Edition uniforms in honour of the late superstar. They plan to wear it in the playoffs as well.

The jersey has been inspired by Kobe Bryant’s “Black Mamba” nickname. It features a snakeskin print and black snakeskin-inspired shorts. It also has eight stars on the shorts, which represent each of the Lakers’ NBA titles.

It also features a heart-shaped patch near the right shoulder, which is a tribute to Kobe’s daughter Gianna. It also features a “LA 24” logo on the belt buckle area. The Lakers will also wear a black alternate jersey, which features 16 stars on the side.

The “Black Mamba” uniforms are reminiscent of Kobe’s rookie season jerseys. They were originally worn in the regular season. It’s believed that the Lakers would only wear the jersey in the playoffs if they advanced to the second round.
