The Lakers will have a new jersey in the rotation this season.

One of the most historic franchises in the entire NBA is the Los Angeles Lakers. They are a team that has been around ever since 1947 when they were actually located in Minneapolis. The Lakers remained in Minneapolis until 1960 when they eventually moved to Los Angeles. There is a lot of history there and this season, the team will be celebrating its 75th anniversary.

If you love the Lakers, then you know they are popular for their purple and gold jerseys. These are the uniforms they wear on most nights, and fans are pretty well used to this aesthetic from. Historians, however, are aware of the fact that the team used to have light blue jerseys with a little bit of gold trim.
