Today was media day at Lakers' camp, and one of the revelations was seeing the new jerseys that will be used in the NBA this season. The new jerseys were announced earlier this week, and are all about increased performance:

The new uniform absorbs moisture in less than three seconds as a result of adidas CLIMACOOL fabrics, which move heat and sweat away from the body through a combination of moisture management materials, ventilation channels, and three-dimensional garments, helping the uniform dry twice as fast.
