JERSEY CARE

1. Many details on the shirts and shorts are Hot-Transfer printed. We suggest you should wash them by hand because machine washing will damage the printing. If you use a machine to wash, please turn the jerseys inside out.

2. Please do not scrub the printed or stamped area too hard, and avoid exposing the jerseys to the sun for too long. When you are not wearing the jersey, please hang it up.

*Don’t put jerseys in the dryer. Turn them inside out and hang them dry.

3.If the printing starts to peel off, please lay the jersey flat, cover the letters & numbers with clean, non-stick plastic paper or a stencil, and iron it at 150°C for 7-8 seconds. If this does not work, please iron it again.

Attention: Please do not iron the printing directly.

Own a Piece of Lakers Lore: The 1996/97 Kobe Bryant #8 Retro Jersey

Step back into a pivotal moment in NBA history with this high-quality retro-inspired design of the 1996/97 Los Angeles Lakers jersey, immortalizing a young Kobe Bryant and the dawn of a legendary era. This swingman style jersey is more than just apparel; it’s a wearable tribute to the passion, promise, and purple-and-gold culture that would come to define the league for a generation.

A Rookie Season for the Ages

This jersey captures Kobe Bryant in his iconic #8, during his electrifying rookie campaign. While the 1996/97 season was just the opening chapter, it showcased the flashes of breathtaking athleticism and fearless play that would become his trademark. From winning the Slam Dunk Contest to his clutch performances in the playoffs, this period marked the arrival of a future legend. Wearing this fan edition is a nod to the very beginning of an unparalleled 20-year journey with the Lakers, a story of dedication that resonates with every basketball fan.

Classic design & Premium Details

We’ve meticulously crafted this jersey to honor the classic on-court look. Every detail is considered to deliver an premium fan experience.

Iconic Purple & Gold: Features the timeless and bold Lakers color scheme with crisp, clean striping on the sides and sleeves.
Stitched Lettering & Numbers: The “LOS ANGELES” wordmark across the chest and the significant #8 on the front and back are expertly stitched for durability and a premium feel.
Classic Mitchell & Ness Branding: Finished with the iconic woven neck label and jock tag, paying homage to the classic athletic wear of the era.

More Than a Jersey, It’s a Legacy

The Los Angeles Lakers franchise is built on a culture of excellence, star power, and championship pursuit. The mid-90s marked a renaissance, blending the established greatness of players like Shaquille O’Neal with the explosive potential of a teenage Kobe. This jersey represents that powerful fusion—the moment the league felt a seismic shift. It connects you to the storied halls of the Great Western Forum, to the excitement of a team being rebuilt into a dynasty.

Returns Policy
We hope that you will be happy with your purchase, but should you wish to return or exchange an item, please follow the instructions below.
Please note we are unable to accept the return of printed shirts or personalised items, unless the item is deemed to be faulty and the fault is that of HowJerseys shop. The same applies if a player leaves the club or changes his squad number during his time at the club.
Please inform us, either by email or by Whatsapp, of any item you intend to return within 14 days of taking delivery. Returns must be made within 28 days of taking delivery. All items must be returned with all outer packaging and labels intact and be in the exact condition in which they were received.
Please include a copy of your return form inside the package to allow us to identify the order as yours - you would be amazed how many people send us a shirt and absolutely nothing to help us work out whose order it is. The return form can be accessed through your account. Please also note on the invoice the reason for return and whether you are requesting a refund or an exchange.
Returns will be inspected upon receipt. If a returned item is found to be non-faulty, correct, and of the correct size, we will not accept any costs incurred in returning the item. If an exchange item is to be sent, the customer will be responsible for the shipping cost on the exchange item as determined by value in our shipping rate chart. In the event that an exchange is requested but not available a refund will be issued.
Can I Cancel My Order?
We're pretty quick at picking and packing your order, therefore we need to be quick to change or cancel your order once your purchase has been confirmed.
We are unable to accept the cancellation or return of your order once we have started processing your order. After placing your order, you will have a small window before we start processing the order, during which time you will be able to cancel.
If your order status has been changed to Being Picked for Dispatch, it is usually too late for us to make changes to the order as this means your order has been packed and ready for shipping.
For printed shirts, once we have begun processing the order, we are unable to accept cancellation because we start building the order immediately. Please note, our order statuses are updated in batch and not in real-time, so your shirt is often printed long before the status updates.
You are welcome to email us and we will change/cancel if we can, but we cannot guarantee it once the order has been possible.
I Have Received The Wrong Order
If we have mistakenly sent you the wrong product, we will send you the correct item at no additional cost.
Printing Details
When we process your refund, you will get an email confirming that the refund has been initiated. Please allow 5 working days for this to reach your account (although in practice this is often quicker).
If you have not received your refund after 5 working days, please contact our Customer Service team with your order details and they will escalate with our payment processors.
If you have received your refund, but you feel the amount is incorrect, please contact our Customer Service team immediately and they will investigate the issue for you.
