The purple Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey is built around a breathable mesh body and a young fan fit, so it holds up whether you are sitting down or on your feet.
We have made mistakes with sizing before and we have changed how we describe the cut. What is written here about the Los Angeles Lakers jersey is the corrected version.

Why fans keep this one
- Ribbed collar, set-in sleeves, and a hem that is finished rather than raw, so the Los Angeles Lakers jersey holds its shape through a full wear cycle.
- Screens, seats, and standing room in the aisle, you can wear a Los Angeles Lakers colours jersey to all three without feeling overdressed.
- a soft, breathable polyester that dries quickly after a Los Angeles Lakers game, in a knit that stays smooth instead of bunching at the elbows. You can feel the difference between this knit and a flat printed sheet the moment you pick up the Los Angeles Lakers jersey, and it keeps that difference after washing.
- a regular fit with a clean shoulder line, and the purple Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey does not look oversized on a young fan. For a Los Angeles Lakers supporter who is between two sizes, take the larger one and the jersey will sit the way it does on the models here.
Material, fit and finishPolyester knit, true to size+
The purple Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey is made from a polyester knit that recovers after wear, so it looks less tired at the end of a season. You can feel the difference between this knit and a flat printed sheet the moment you pick up the Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey in purple.
a straight cut down the body of the Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey, with a slight taper at the hem that suits a young fan without looking tight. If you normally wear a slim shirt, size up one on the Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey in purple, because the Retro is cut to a regular athletic range.
A Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey is judged on the parts you do not see, so the purple version gets a taped neck and a doubled hem. The Los Angeles Lakers colours on this jersey is woven into the knit rather than printed over it, and that is what keeps the edge of the purple sharp.
It looks right in a Los Angeles Lakers crowd and it looks right in a coffee shop, which is a harder thing for a Retro jersey in purple to do than it sounds.

Care and buying notesWashing, sizing and returns+
Turn the purple Los Angeles Lakers jersey inside out, wash it cold, and let it dry on a hanger. The name and number on the Los Angeles Lakers Retro will thank you.
The Los Angeles Lakers Retro jersey in purple you order is the one that arrives, packed and checked against the size and colour you picked.
Questions we get asked
Does the purple Los Angeles Lakers jersey stretch?
There is a small amount of stretch in the knit, so it moves with a sprint and settles back afterwards. It is not a fully elastic fabric, so a Los Angeles Lakers jersey keeps a proper shape rather than clinging.
Can a teenager wear the Los Angeles Lakers jersey?
Yes, if the size matches their chest measurement rather than their age. The Los Angeles Lakers range runs from youth up, and a purple jersey in a youth size is cut narrower through the body.
Can I get a Los Angeles Lakers jersey without a name and number?
Yes, that is the standard build. The custom name and number is an option on the Retro rather than a requirement, so a plain Los Angeles Lakers jersey is what ships by default.
Is payment on the Los Angeles Lakers jersey secure?
Yes, checkout is handled over an encrypted connection and we never see your card details. The order confirmation and the tracking link for a Los Angeles Lakers jersey both arrive by email.
Quick answersShort answers+
Will the Los Angeles Lakers jersey work for a young fan?
Yes. The cut is regular and the fabric is light, so a purple Los Angeles Lakers jersey works for younger fans comfortably. The size range covers younger fans as well, and the measurements in the fold make it a quick decision rather than a guess.
Can I wear the Los Angeles Lakers jersey in the rain?
a light shower will not trouble it. The knit is quick-drying and the graphics sit on the surface rather than soaking in, so a purple Los Angeles Lakers jersey will dry out rather than stay damp on you.
