 Lakers’ 2023-24 city edition jersey "8"

Fine and Performance Arts Center (12:00 P.M)


Every year, the NBA and Nike always partner up to give each 30 NBA teams city edition jerseys. The Los Lakers 2023-24 city edition jerseys pays homage to the history of the franchise with the triangular font that the team donned back when it moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. Dubbed the “California Dream”, these jerseys are meant to pay respect to the team’s California roots. Los Angeles Lakers fans, including myself, think these jerseys are one of the worst Lakers jerseys ever made. Some people think the pure art on jerseys might be the worst that Nike has come out with. Nike design team used photoshop and AI to create these jerseys. They used visual communication to express the history of the franchise with the triangular font that the team donned back when it moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. I believe the NBA and Nike design team could have done better. I would rate the jerseys a six out of 10. I have seen better from the NBA and Nike design team when it comes to creating great Lakers jerseys. Down below is a list with a ranking of the best Lakers city jerseys.

  Donell Pettus VDCM 230 (Intro To Comp Graphics) October 13th, 2023 Direct Effect Innovation "7"  The Washington Hilton- 1919 Connecticut Ave NW Washington, DC (10:00 AM)        On October 13, 2023, the Direct Effect Innovation hosted an event at the Washington Hilton on 1919 Connecticut Ave. This was a competition between schools around the world competing to make a pitch to the marketing judges for their brand. They had a book for all the students that participated.  This book was colorful. It seems like the book was covered with shining stars. I was very amazed how the front cover was different than the back cover. Both covers had greats designs on them.  The design team did a great job bolding the name of the book and making the fonts the main focal point. I want to say thank you to Direct Effect Innovation for inviting me again. It was a nice experience.
