Apparently the Los Angeles Lakers are not very happy with their St. Patrick’s Day related merchandise that is on sale at the NBA store. And I can totally understand why they aren’t.

The NBA put out a St. Patrick’s Day clothing line at the beginning of the year for all 30 teams that included green jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, and hats. An NBA source said the Lakers were quietly not in favor of it, since the green and the shamrocks are associated with their heated rivals, the Celtics. But the green Lakers gear actually sold well when it first went on the market.

Here’s a look at the hat and shirts:

Gotta love it!!! Boston Celtics green and the shamrock on the shirt and hats. Maybe they should make them wear green uniforms on St. Patrick’s Day.
