From warm-up to the bench, in the club colours.
The warm-up outfit
In basketball, the tracksuit is worn during the pre-match warm-up and by the substitutes on the bench, who need to stay warm to come into play at any moment. NBA players wear stunning warm-up outfits in their team's colours, which they take off just before the game starts. For amateur clubs, the matching tracksuit, jacket and trousers, is the official outfit for away games and team presentations.

The Lakers jacket
The buttoned tracksuit jacket of the Los Angeles Lakers, in the purple and gold colours of the franchise with seventeen titles, reflects the style of the vintage warm-up outfits, with its snap fasteners at the front. Players would take it off in one motion before stepping onto the court. It now appeals to fans of vintage NBA culture, who wear it around town over a t-shirt or sweatshirt, as a tribute to the great teams of the past, from Magic Johnson to Kobe Bryant.
Choosing your tracksuit wisely
For training, choose a tracksuit made of polyester, lightweight and breathable, which wicks away sweat and dries quickly. Trousers with side snaps can be easily removed without taking off your shoes. A slightly loose fit allows you to wear a shirt or sweatshirt underneath. Clubs often order custom sets. Wash your tracksuit at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener, and avoid the tumble dryer.

Frequently asked questions
What is a press-stud basketball tracksuit?
The jacket and trousers open the entire length with snap fasteners, allowing you to take them off in one motion without removing your shoes. It's the ideal outfit for substitutes who need to come into play quickly.
What size basketball tracksuit should I get for a child?
Trust the child's size rather than their age, and consider going a size up so they can wear it longer. An elasticated trouser leg prevents it from dragging on the ground.
Why do NBA players wear warm-up outfits?
They keep the muscles warm during warm-ups and team presentations, before being removed just before the tip-off. Franchises also use them as a showcase for their identity, with striking colours and logos.
What material should I prefer for a basketball tracksuit?
Lightweight polyester dries quickly and is suitable for warm-ups and the bench. Fleece, warmer and softer, is preferred for travel and everyday attire in team colours.
Can a Lakers jacket be worn daily?
Yes, the buttoned purple and gold jacket of the Los Angeles Lakers can be worn both in town and at games. It is one of the most sought-after vintage outfits by fans of the Californian franchise.
