Wow guess we were right after all. I had convinced myself from them looking OK on live TV (I guess) that they were the same. But yeah look how much richer the original gold is. And "Royal Purple" The whole point isn't it with the P&G? And these cheap jerseys tearing left and right? WTF Nike??
Fine. I'm not a huge fan. I don't love the black Laker jersey aesthetic and I'm not in love with the snake concept either. The only black jersey I don't dislike is the one Kobe wore on the Slam cover with the yellow and blue writing in the old style font. It still has some Laker in it. This one isn't awful, but I don't love it.
Are these somehow different, Nike, than the wrong P&G colored, cheap tear prone crap quality the rest seem to be? "Engineered to the exact specifications of championship athletes" on the label in 3rd pic.
The Hollywood Nights are probably the closest you’ll get. Otherwise, this year, they have the All-Star Jordan Black and White Jerseys, strangely though, for Kobe at LakersStore.com:
