OT - Lakers go from adidas to Nike... and are unhappy about the shade of yellow used
As Michigan fans, we probably have the same feelings about this that you might concerning rainy nuptials or a fly in your Chardonnay:
As NBA fans are doubtlessly aware, this season the league followed our precedent in switching from adidas to Nike proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that we truly are the leaders and best.
However the transition to Nike hasn't gone nearly as smoothly for one of the NBA's marquee franchises And you'd think that fans of a historically popular team Would Definitely be upset about this. So, where to start?
For one thing, the jerseys are flimsy as crepe paper:
And even worse, many Laker fans (myself included), dislike the particular shade Nike chose for the iconic gold jerseys, claiming that it's almost a highlighter shade of yellow:
Irony is a harsh mistress indeed.

...but I've never seen myself and rolldamntide in the same room, so /shrug.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:42 PM ^
I care?? I barely care about the Detroit franchise.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:50 PM ^
Yes, you care.
November 30th, 2017 at 6:58 PM ^
You care enough to say you don't care. Chances are you like soccer and baseball, too.

How did you find out? I am shamefaced.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
feelings concerning rainy nipples?
November 30th, 2017 at 4:35 PM ^
Should've gone with Big Baller Brand.
LaVar will be selling those jerseys at a bargain rate. Only $700 a pop.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:46 PM ^
and with that kinda price tag you can kinda understand why his middle kid felt the need to steal footwear while in China
November 30th, 2017 at 4:56 PM ^
Considering that LaVar bought his 16 year old a Ferrari a few months ago, I don't think there is anyone in that family that's hurting for money right now.
LiAngelo shoplifted because his Dad taught him that his shit doesn't stink and that the rules don't apply to big ballers.
November 30th, 2017 at 7:59 PM ^
You know he'd sell jerseys for way more than that if the shoes are $700
November 30th, 2017 at 4:36 PM ^
November 30th, 2017 at 6:13 PM ^
or the Laker girls. Whatever floats your boat, man.

Yeah it's crazy how many teams have had jerseys rip. So it looks like the wrong shade of yellow isn't the only thing they're copying from our Adidas experience. Funny how Lakers experience of going from Adidas -> Nike is like the inverse of ours.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:57 PM ^
That happens when you're obsessed with making jerseys as lightweight as possible, despite there being little to no demonstrative benefit in performance from this.

and moisture-wicking.
November 30th, 2017 at 6:50 PM ^
Honestly, how breathable does a tank top need to be? Your arms are already totally free.

Have Pelinka agree to sign at least one former Michigan player every season.
November 30th, 2017 at 4:52 PM ^
is LaVar Ball's. It will probably be entertaining, at least.

I guess it's OT season now. Long 9 months ahead.
November 30th, 2017 at 5:14 PM ^
yeah, sorry about that - I can sincerely understand apparel thread fatigue and did debate about the boardworthiness of this - however, the irony that someone else did the same thing we did (adidas--->Nike) but had the same problems we had with adidas greatly amused me and I figured MGoOthers might get a chuckle at that, too. At least I didn't dilly dilly?

November 30th, 2017 at 5:37 PM ^

The entire NBA switched and the Lakers suck. 
November 30th, 2017 at 5:57 PM ^
Ha ha! Pancaked!
November 30th, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
You can't blame Mahorn. Imagine the frustration of playing in a non-DRI-FIT/ CLIMALITE jersey.
November 30th, 2017 at 5:56 PM ^
Must suck to have Lavar Ball be your dad
November 30th, 2017 at 5:58 PM ^
Thought this was about LSSU.
Moving on.
