Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys
The Los Angeles Lakers range covers everything from a light everyday layer to a heavier display piece. What follows is a plain breakdown of which is which.
Colourways change with the season, so the product grid is the live version of the catalogue. Sizes run S–XXL across men's, women's and youth cuts.
Short answer: How do you choose between the three Los Angeles Lakers jerseys, and what size should you order? Work out how often it gets worn first and what size you actually need — that one answer rules out two of the three builds before you compare anything else.
Key facts about Los Angeles Lakers
Purple and gold is one of the few identities that has stayed unbroken, so colour will… — the line that settles it on Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers jerseys: three builds, one colourway
| What you are choosing | How it feels | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Light printed build | Breathable mesh, flat graphics, relaxed cut | Weekly wear, game days, layering |
| Mid-weight swing build | Softer fabric, structured shoulder, taped seams | Everyday wear that still looks sharp on a hanger |
| Heavy display build | Denser mesh, ribbed trim, embroidered detail | Collectors and display |
| Youth cut | Scaled proportions, lighter fabric | Younger supporters, smaller sizes |
The purple and gold colourway on Los Angeles garments is the one to check against the product photo; the rest render slightly differently on screen.
Getting the fit right the first time
Three measurements that decide the size.
Size chart
Three measurements that decide the size
- Measure chest width across a flat garment you already own and compare it to the size chart. That single number decides most sizing outcomes.
- Add shoulder-to-hem length as a second measurement. A jersey that matches on chest can still be short in the body.
- Size up only for layering. Sizing up for everyday wear collapses the shoulder and shortens the hem, which reads as an error.

How the designs actually differ
Purple and gold is one of the few identities that has stayed unbroken, so colour will not help you here. The Minneapolis years are shorter and plainer. From the 1980s onward the distinguishing detail is the black trim, which becomes a full black field on the alternates and is what most people mean by a Lakers design.
Frequently asked questions
7questions
1What sizes does the Los Angeles Lakers range come in?
S–XXL across men's, women's and youth cuts, with S–XXL Big & Tall on selected builds. The size selector on each product page lists what is actually in stock.
2Which Los Angeles Lakers build should I buy for regular wear?
The light printed build. It is the most breathable and the easiest to wear for hours, and it survives washing better than the heavier alternatives.
3Can I layer a Los Angeles Lakers jersey over a hoodie?
Yes. The standard cut leaves room through the torso; size up one if you plan to layer over something bulky, particularly on the heavier builds.
4How do I tell a 1980s Los Angeles Lakers jersey from a current one?
The trim. Purple with gold only points to the earlier 1980s designs; once black appears as trim — or as a full field on an alternate — you are looking at the modern era. Purple and gold alone cannot date the garment.
5What size Los Angeles Lakers jersey should I get for a 6 foot player?
A 6 foot player usually lands in a large in the mid-weight build. Measure chest width across the flat garment and double it, then match that number to the size chart on the product page. If the chest measurement sits between two sizes, take the larger one: the mid-weight build has less give than the light printed one.
6Is there a Los Angeles Lakers jersey that works as a gift without knowing the size?
The custom name and number route is the safest one. Choose the size from the chest measurement rather than from height, and leave the name field open if you are buying for someone whose spelling you want to confirm.
7What colourway should I get for a Los Angeles Lakers game day?
Home colourway is what most people reach for on a game day. The colourway itself is fixed by the team, so the only real choice is the season design, and those rotate year to year.
