Bronny James thinks she’s ‘quite nice’.
Max Christie says they are “super cool”.
D’Angelo Russell called them his “favorite.”
The Lakers unveiled their 2024-2025 City Edition uniforms on Tuesday, with a video showing several players — those mentioned above, as well as LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves — wearing and reacting to the new duds.
“Definitely a representation of the Lakers and the city, that’s for sure,” LeBron James said of the new uniforms in the video.

The uniform, also known as the “California Destiny” uniform, is one of at least four styles the Lakers will wear on the court this season.
“This might be my favorite,” Russell said. “I’m not even going to lie to you.”
The jersey features several firsts for a team uniform, with the words “Lake Show” replacing “Lakers” on the chest and a color gradient that starts black at the top and turns to purple further down.
There are also nods to the past, including jersey numbers that mimic the style used from 1999 to 2017 and an emblem along the waistband that resembles one of the championship banners hanging from the Crypto.com Arena rafters.

The Lakers also unveiled the City Edition court it will use when the players wear the jerseys. It features the gradient color effect along the perimeter, a large LA logo on the center half, the words “Lake Show” at each baseline and solid black free throw lanes.
“Daaaang,” Bronny James said in the video. “The black is cool.”
His father added of the new court, “That’s pretty dope, honey.”
The City Edition jerseys will be available for purchase beginning November 14 at the team’s online store and in person at the Team LA store at Crypto.com Arena or the Lakers Team Shop in El Segundo. The Lakers will wear them on the court for the first time during a home game on November 21 against the Orlando Magic.
