1966–67 Los Angeles Lakers season

The 1966–67 NBA season was the Lakers' 19th season in the NBA and seventh season in Los Angeles.[1] This was the final season that they wore blue and white uniforms with cursive script reading "Los Angeles" on the front of both home and away uniforms, which had been in place since the team moved to Los Angeles in 1960, the following year they would switch to their familiar purple and gold with "Lakers" on the front of both uniforms, where it has remained ever since.
