The Dodgers have scheduled Lakers Night for August 24, a date chosen with profound significance. On this day, the Dodgers will honor both of Kobe Bryant’s iconic jersey numbers, 8 and 24. As the city of Los Angeles honors its sports icons, the Dodgers have done their bit in lending a date and venue for the same.

The jersey will be launched when they take on the Atlanta Braves on September 1, at the Dodger Stadium, LA. These special jerseys feature the iconic Dodgers’ traditional script logo emblazoned across the chest, paying homage to the basketball legend deeply connected to the team. 

With Bryant’s No. 8 prominently displayed on the front and his No. 24 gracing the back, the jerseys will serve as a lasting symbol of remembrance for the athlete who left an indelible mark on the sports world.

The material used for the jerseys will be printed to mimic the intricate scales of a snake’s skin in honor of the Mamba’s legacy. This design choice holds great significance for the NBA icon. The jersey parallels the commemorative jerseys the Los Angeles Lakers wore during the NBA bubble in Bryant’s memory.
