Men's Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant #8 Purple 00-01 Hardwood Classics Jersey
Size Guide
Everything below is the garment measured flat, not your body. Chest is the full width from armpit seam to armpit seam; length runs from the highest shoulder point down to the hem. Fastest way to get it right: take a jersey that fits you well, measure it the same way, and match the numbers.

Basketball jerseys are meant to hang loose. If you want a regular, closer fit, order one size below your usual.
Go up. The extra room is how the cut is designed to be worn, and it layers over a hoodie in winter without pulling.
Match the numbers to a shirt you already own rather than to your body. Printed names and numbers on the back do not change the fit.

Description
Older-cut Los Angeles Lakers jersey, Kobe Bryant’s name and number — as at home at a watch party as it is on a run.
It is the sort of jersey that stops being special and starts being normal — which is the point. Up front it is all Los Angeles Lakers; across the shoulders it is Kobe Bryant. Everything on the shirt — front marks, name, number — is applied in layers and pressed down properly.
It is a recycled polyester knit with moisture-moving finish, which is what keeps it wearable late in the game. Inside: taping instead of a label. Outside: a clean V-neck that layers under a jacket without a ridge. It works as a gift without any guesswork: pick the name, pick the size, and the rest is handled. It layers under a hoodie without bunching at the shoulders.

- Made for repeat wearThe kind of shirt that ends up in the weekly rotation rather than the bottom of a drawer.
What people ask
What is the shirt like after a full day of wear?
The knit holds its shape and the neckline keeps its form — it is built for long evenings.
Is it true to the photos?
The listing photos show the Purple colourway as it comes out of the bag.
Does the colour match the team kit exactly?
It follows the Los Angeles Lakers palette rather than approximating it, so it sits right next to the rest of the range.
