In August, the Los Angeles Lakers teased a set of new black alternate jerseys called “Hollywood Nights.” Now, the team has officially unveiled them. And they’re truly excellent.

The jerseys will be worn in “select” games, according to the press release, which adds that they were named as an homage to the team’s many celebrity fans, most notably Jack Nicholson.

Now that they’ve been revealed in their entirety, these jerseys are a thing of beauty. The purple and gold are still intact in the lettering and side piping, and it brings a contemporary look to their classic jersey style.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if these jerseys permanently replaced the Sunday whites. The team says they will be worn in addition to their three normal jerseys, and while the purple and gold are untouchable, the whites have always been the weakest of their lineup. Either way, the Hollywood Nights are definitely the choice if you’re shopping for a new Lakers jersey.
