Today, the Los Angeles Lakers have unveiled the uniforms they will be wearing in this year’s Christmas day game.
The NBA stayed away from the t-shirt jerseys it has used in years past (thank god) and used the same font for every team, giving them a nice uniform look.
This year’s colors are more toned down, to the point that the Lakers will be playing in white against the Los Angeles Clippers on Christmas day.

So far on twitter, fans seem to be split on the new design. Some are big fans of the new jersey.

Meanwhile, others are bit more pessimistic on the new look.
The jerseys are certainly different than the usual purple and gold fans adore, but they fit in with the theme the NBA and Adidas have decided for the league to wear on the holiday.
Christmas Day uniforms, Lakers jersey is far right. Looks good although I'd have preferred a yellow jersey myself. pic.twitter.com/6oAxRWXWo4

The lack of an appearance from yellow or gold coloring on the jersey seems to be the biggest complaint so far.

Per NBA:

The jerseys also come with matching Stance Socks specific to each team.
