AEW Full Gear 2023’s graphics initially featured a yellow and gold color scheme, inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers. However, by October, the graphics were changed due to a request from the LA Forum’s new owners, who also own the LA Clippers. Since the original graphics represented the Lakers, the Clippers’ ownership sought a change. AEW reverted to their traditional Full Gear graphic style, which had been used in previous years.
Fightful Select is reporting that for AEW Revolution 2025 at the Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as the STAPLES Center, AEW was able to adopt the Lakers’ colors (purple and gold) because of Tony Khan’s admiration for the team. The Crypto.com Arena had previously been WWE’s exclusive venue, but after WWE moved to the Intuit Dome for a RAW event, AEW secured the Lakers’ home for their event.
