LOS ANGELES – Trailing the finals series 3 to 2, the Lakers find themselves trying to play catchup not only with wins in the series, but with their fans as well. Tops, a popular jersey manufacturing company also needs to play catchup with their client base and their best move was to sell reversible laker-celtic jerseys at the home court.
“This is a win win win situation for us” said the company’s chief manufacturing officer, Tom Brown. “We know alot of people here in Los Angeles like teams that win so this product would make them feel at home.” The concept behind this jersey is that when you put it on, you will either have the green side showing outside along with the Celtics logo or the yellow side showing along with the Laker logo. If the Celtics are winning, you can easily switch your jersey inside out to show everyone you’re a Celtics fan, and you knew it all along.
Some finance critics of the company have warned against this move saying that the product could be labeled as a ‘flip flop’ jersey. “This is neat!” said a local Celtics fan we interviewed at a local LA Sports memorabilia store. “I’ve been a diehard Boston fan all my life, and when i get this jersey, I’ll sure stick it to them Lakerheads this upcoming game.” He declined to comment however, when asked what he would do if Lakers won.
