Description

For the era you keep going back to: Shaquille O'Neal in Los Angeles Lakers Gold — light enough to live in, sturdy enough to keep.

It is the sort of jersey that stops being special and starts being normal — which is the point. It is Los Angeles Lakers first, Shaquille O'Neal second — the right order for a jersey you actually wear. It is a knit rather than a woven fabric, which is why it moves with you instead of against you.

Recycled polyester throughout, with a finish that pulls sweat off the skin instead of soaking it up. A taped, tagless neckline keeps the interior smooth, so there is nothing to adjust while you watch. It is the rare piece of fan gear that does not feel like a costume — which is why it gets worn so often. If you already own older Los Angeles Lakers pieces, the colours sit comfortably next to them.

Points to note

They follow the Los Angeles Lakers palette rather than approximating it.

Relaxed and true to a standard jersey cut — comfortable through the body without being baggy.
