The colorful jersey sports the iconic Looney Tunes concentric circles, which wrap around the side of the uniform, set against a powder blue background with orange trim. It also has the logo of ‘Tune Squad’ along with the number of the individual player. LeBron famously wore the No. 6 jersey during his run with the Miami Heat and the USA National Team.This reveal comes shortly after LeBron, who is teaming up with the Looney Tunes for more basketball-based hijinks in the upcoming sequel, posted a video of him wearing a black hat adorned with the sequel’s logo, which pays homage to the original Michael Jordan-starring film, with a similar round pattern wrapped around the cosmic style of the title.
With more and more teasers being posted for the animated / live-action mash-up, Space Jam: A New Legacy appears on schedule to slam-dunk its July 16, 2021 release date despite all the other recent shifts, shake-ups, and delays in the film industry that have occurred as a result of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
