The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to honor the late Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, in an upcoming Lakers Night on September 1. A select number of fans will receive a special “Black Mamba” jersey, paying tribute to Bryant’s nickname.
The jersey is a unique take on the Dodgers’ traditional jersey, featuring an all-black design with a snakeskin print, reminiscent of the special jerseys worn by the Lakers to honor Bryant during their time in the NBA bubble. The team name and number 8 are emblazoned on the front, while the back showcases Bryant’s name and the number 24. Both numbers were famously worn by Bryant during his 20-year NBA career.
To receive the commemorative jersey, fans will need to purchase a special event ticket package, with prices starting at $71 for the game against the Atlanta Braves. As a bonus, there will also be a fireworks show after the game.
