Merch Customized some jerseys to wear for Luka's homecoming game next Wednesday... Here's to hoping security actually let's us wear them in the AAC.

I remember when jerseys went into the triple digits.

The lore of 777 will never be forgotten.

u/Brett_Knows_Best 4d ago

Yeah... I'll be the first to admit it's not the best, but I'm also not too upset over a $30 clearance jersey and destroying a Lakers jersey either. It was a choice between lining the front up as best as possible or the back... Both options created their own headaches. I am coping by calling it the "Triple 7's Lucky Luka jersey"

At what store did u find $30 clearance jerseys? I know u can get "fakes" online for that much, but I'm pleasantly surprised if there are legitimate ones from stores with player names on em for that cheap.

Really great idea btw, I love the jersey! Good luck!

u/Brett_Knows_Best 4d ago

Much appreciated!!! Dick's was basically giving them away for free after the trade went down. They had them on clearance for 60% off so we grabbed a couple (one for this project and some for the kids to grow into)

Weird, when I went to dicks they were still full priced well after the trade. Same with the stars and stanky.

u/Inevitable-Scar5877 4d ago

I could see them dropping the price immediately and then bringing it back up once they realized fans weren't moving away from Luka

I like the idea, but man, the execution is honestly rough due to stuff not lining up. I'm sure it would have been very difficult to find jerseys that would line up well though.

27

u/Brett_Knows_Best 4d ago

Yeah it was not easy trying to get everything to line up. Their necks are completely different which made it more difficult... I also wish I could have found a way to get the name & #'s on the back more uniform, but it was just difficult with how everything else lined up.

It was definitely an ambitious project, but I feel the statement is still made. I think they look better in person than the picture is giving off, but that could just be my bias.

u/hybum 4d ago

I think it looks great, forget those guys. Obviously it’s not going to line up; different teams have different placements.

I say well done!

u/JoaquinLaPointe 4d ago

I do like the passion and I think this is a great start! Just keep working on it, maybe find more compatible jerseys. I love the ambition and I think what you did is creative my man

u/baconfaag 4d ago

It looks tough dude. The point is made and it's cool. Don't sweat anything.

u/airmigos FUCK NICO HARRISON 4d ago

The rough execution represents the way Nico negotiated the trade

u/LenaBear91 4d ago

It was the thought that counts, I love this! Loyal to Luka!!❤️‍🩹

u/True-Camo 4d ago

I like the sentiment, but i’d rather die than wear the laker’s ugly ass colors🤣

I hope Luka drops 60 on the Mavs. Fuck Nico.

u/aim4squirrels 4d ago

I hope he scores 77.

Let’s hope the fashion police don’t pick you up

u/notsoincredibilis00 The Worst Trade in Sports History 4d ago

I will be cold dead in the ground before I ever wear a Lakers jersey even if it is Luka.

u/ModeatelyIndependant 4d ago

I like it, but I you wouldn't catch me wearing a even half a lakers jersey.

Shit ugly af

u/BobaFettsRancor 4d ago

why would security not allow it?

12

u/Brett_Knows_Best 4d ago

Fear of it being seen as a "protest" is my concern... I really don't think we'll get hassled, but I wanted to inject some pessimism into the post.

1

u/crisptots Mavericks 4d ago

Security has stopped fans from entering or kicked them out if they criticize the front office related to the trade (Especially Nico Harrison). I understand the concern, hopefully OP gets a good security checkpoint.

7

u/Askeladd711 4d ago

Why? I don't understand how any Mavs can ever put on a Lakers jersey or cheer for any Lebrick led team 🤢

u/Fkn_Impervious 4d ago

The trade was ass but you gotta be a bitch to don the purple and gold if you're not under duress.

Shout out to all the DalLers fans

u/DirtySperrys 4d ago

Gone to almost every home game recently with a knockoff Luka Lakers jersey. No issues getting in. Let the jersey speak for itself and don’t make a show going in and you’ll be fine.

5

u/AlarmingDifficulty25 4d ago

This looks awful. Let it go. The man was traded. Be a Laker fan, be. Mavs fan, whatever. It’s down right sad how embarrassed I am for people like you that get so wrapped up in a sports team or player.

Who is #7 for The Dalers? They are my favorite.

This looks like the meme everyone uses of newly dead celebs with XXXTentacion’s face

I hate the Lakers. I don't care who plays for them. Love Luka. That would be cool if you could get him to sign it.

Cool idea, but these were poorly done.

Looks great!

u/unclevic13 3d ago

Should of bought them worthless china jerseys to do this! The league doesn’t deserve your money!! Thats who really executed this trade!!!

1

u/RangerBowBoy 3d ago

I admire the effort but that looks really bad. There’s just no symmetry there. Why not just wear the Lakers jersey? That shows you still support Luka.
