The Los Angeles Lakers will look very different next season with LeBron James leading the way both on and off the court but the team will have a familiar look when they hit the court.
Last week there were rumours floating around the basketball community that the Lakers would be going back to the glorious “Showtime” era uniforms from the 1980s and it’s looks like that’s exactly what they’re doing based off a tweet from Modell’s Sporting Goods that has recently been deleted.
Modell’s originally tweeted the photo on Wednesday with the caption; “The @Lakers purple and gold all the way in the East Coast. @KingJames jersey’s now available at Modell’s.”
However, shortly after it was posted it was taken down, but not before people managed to grab screenshots of the tweet and saved the photo on their own devices.
While the uniforms aren’t the exact same as the “Showtime” era uniforms, they’re pretty darn close and will easily be on the top selling jerseys next year.
