There's no denying Pedro Pascal is the star of the moment, and his critical acclaim is rightfully deserved. Longtime fans might remember the Chilean-born American actor from his time on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or as Oberyn Martell on season four of the HBO series Game of Thrones. Pascal also earned major attention for his portrayal as DEA agent Javier Peña on Netflix's hit show Narcos. And while fans anxiously await season four of the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian to drop, they've been able to enjoy Pascal's enthralling portrayal as Joel Miller in The Last of Us, a post-apocalyptic HBO drama nominated for several MTV Movie and TV Awards on Sunday night.
Viacom, the parent company of MTV, opted out of a live award show this season due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. Drew Barrymore was set to host the event but said in a statement that she's pulling out in support of the WGA strike and plans to host in 2024.
So Pascal and other winners, such as Tom Cruise and Jennifer Coolidge, pre-recorded their acceptance speeches. Cruise gave his thanks while sitting in a fighter jet, as one does, while Coolidge looked stunning in a form-fitting LBD. On the other hand, Pascal kept his fit casual by sporting a yellow Los Angeles Lakers vintage T-shirt. His tee features the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy and lists the years the LA Lakers won the NBA championship, with bold red font that proudly says World Champions 2000.
This isn't the first time Pascal has rocked this exact casual tee. He was previously photographed donning the shirt with dark-wash jeans, black shorts, medium-wash jeans, and sneakers. So it's safe to say this is one of the hardest working pieces in Pascal's closet.
Although we don't know who created one of his favorite T-shirts, we felt inspired by his laidback fit — and the Lakers battling the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Western Conference Semi-Finals — to bring you five noteworthy vintage Lakers tees. We're confident that our recommendations below are the perfect gift for your favorite Lakers or Pascal stan in your life — and if that happens to be you, well, even better.
Who knew Abercrombie & Fitch would be the spot for vintage sports tees? Made with the retailer's now-signature softAF fabric, this off-white shirt feels incredibly cozy.
We love the classic relaxed shirt fit, but we suggest sizing down if someone prefers a closer fit. It's emblazoned with the purple-and-yellow LA Lakers logo and namesake, so there's no mistake who you're supporting this championship and beyond.

Urban Outfitters isn't just for hipsters (or those who want to cosplay as one for an evening). They've got your sports T-shirt needs covered without you looking too obnoxious.
This neutral shirt is a slightly more modern take on a vintage sports great. It features Los Angeles Lakers in extra large yellow-to-purple ombré font that reminds us of Microsoft Powerpoints from the 2000s, as well as the classic and easily identifiable Lakers logo.
Junk Food Clothing Lakers Surf Competition Vintage Tee
Junk Food Clothing was known as the It brand for vintage tees in the 2000s, and we're elated they're still designing stylish apparel.
The brand's newest NBA collection has us dreaming of a trip to LA. This laidback, baggy, longer-cut vintage tee features a sunset, mountains, and classic skinny palm trees paired with the team's logo and Lakers in a spray-painted '90s graffiti print.
Prefer something more classic? We got you! This faded T-shirt features a classic crewneck with "Lakers" screen-printed across the chest.
It's made from 100% Peruvian cotton and has a distressed look that's become a design signature of 47 Brand apparel. Our favorite part? The shirt is tagless for added comfort.
New Era might be most known for their baseball caps, but they snapped on this striped T-shirt; we've seen a lot of vintage basketball gear over the years but we haven't spotted any with purple pinstripes until now. Not only does it look damn good, but vertical stripes are typically considered more flattering because they elongate the silhouette.
This comfy top also features Lakers writing across the chest and on the left armband, so you can proudly flex your loyalty to the purple and gold from multiple angles.
