Not even the Lakers can tell a fashionable Los Angeles crowd what to wear.

Most fans at Staples Center on Monday night declined to put on their giveaway gold T-shirts for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

The Lakers handed out thousands of shirts with their logo on the back and the slogan ``Together We Are One'' on the front, attempting the popular color-coordination crowd stunt performed in several arenas during the NBA and NHL playoffs.

The idea definitely isn't hip in L.A., where the crowd gave the same polite disdain to thousands of giveaway white T-shirts earlier in the playoffs.

Some fans waved the shirts like a Terrible Towel, but most stuck them underneath their seats.
