4. 2019-20 City Edition Jerseys

Shaquille O'Neal did a great jobĀ designingĀ these 2019-20 City Edition jerseys.Ā Besides leaning into the famous Lakers gold, he included tons of cool details.Ā For instance, "Dr. Bussā€ is etched onto the rear portion of the waistband, in the style of the Hollywood sign. InĀ addition,Ā stars featuring theĀ Lakers'Ā retired numbersĀ runĀ down the sides.

When he designed these, Shaq wanted to make sure people didn't forget about the otherĀ greatĀ Lakers — a nice homage from the Big Diesel.Ā The classic white Lakers logo really stands out.Ā It's reminiscentĀ of earlyĀ 2000s Lakers swag. It's traditional, yet nuanced. Overall,Ā aside from being stylish, this jersey isĀ an excellentĀ tribute to the past Lakers.Ā Way to go Shaq.

3. 2020-21 City Edition Jerseys

Any time the Lakers use that powder blue, it works out. These city editions came right after the Lakers 2020 NBA championship. The modern "Lakers" font pairs nicely with the old-school Minneapolis Lakers blue. It's the closest we've gotten to the royal blue 1961-1962 Lakers uniforms. Overall, a great city edition jersey. You'd expect nothing less from the reigning champs.
