The Los Angeles Lakers have unveiled their new jerseys for the upcoming season. Ditching the legendary "Forum Blue and Gold," the Lakers team will sport "Celtic Green and Hot Pink."
According to team spokesperson John Black, "The new Lakers identity is our grand welcome to the Ronnie Turiaf era of Lakers basketball. We were inspired the the Boston Celtics green color as homage to all the luck they have been having, especially with the Kevin Garnett Trade. The Hot Pink was selected to accentuate Ronnie Turiaf's electric dance moves and cheering from the bench."
Kobe Bryant was nonetheless impressed with the new uniforms. Bryant has hinted that he will change his jersey number again to welcome the new jerseys. "I'm thinking of having the number 69, because it's 23 (from LeBron) plus 5 (from Jason Kidd) plus 41 (Reigning MVP Dirk Nowtizki). My new number will be hot," Bryant related.
On a non-related matter, Kareem Abdul Jabbar has demanded for royalties for camera shots of him every time protege Andrew Bynum makes a post-up move in the paint.
HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!

Those are just plain ugly!
I think the original one is better than that.
