The Los Angeles Lakers should bring back the gold jerseys. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but the old LA Lakers gold looked different and better, and I am interested to hear what other Instagram users think. The deeper gold from the Showtime era, the Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant championship years was iconic. But since Nike took over the NBA uniforms, it looks more like a bright yellow than a gold, and it doesn’t feel the same to a lot of NBA fans.

When basketball fans think of the Lakers, they think of Magic Johnson throwing passes to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, of James Worthy, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Shaq dominating the paint, Kobe hitting fadeaways, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom, Metta World Peace, Andrew Bynum, LeBron James bringing another NBA Championship to the city of Los Angeles, Anthony Davis, and now Luka Doncic playing basketball for one of the biggest franchises in all of sports.

This Instagram post highlights what it would be like for basketball fans to see Luka Dončić wearing the traditional Lakers gold instead of the brighter yellow. The LA Lakers’ classic gold is one of the most recognizable looks in the NBA, along with the Boston Celtics green, Chicago Bulls red, New York Knicks blue and orange, Golden State Warriors blue and gold, and Miami Heat black.
