The LA Lakers possess some of the NBA’s most iconic colors, worn by some of the league's greatest players. So, any new iteration always draws plenty of scrutiny.

That’s the case with the leaked images of their uniforms for this season. The franchise’s latest black jersey variation has drawn disapproval from fans.

They did this in an attempt to set themselves apart from the league not just through wins but also in style. This has led to several iterations of their jerseys being released with each one having some sort of difference from its predecessor. Once again, it appears that they are releasing a new jersey design.

However, these leaked images of their rumored uniforms for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season have drawn disapproval from the team's fans.

Lakers fans who are displeased with this leaked design are definitely hoping that these are rumors and nothing more.
