LeBron James has given fans a sneak peek of the Tune Squad jersey that he’ll be wearing in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
The Twitter account for the LeBron James Family Foundation unveiled a first look of the NBA star suited up in the new uniform, which he will be showcasing out on the basketball court in Space Jam 2.

The colourful jersey sports the iconic Looney Tunes concentric circles, wrapping around the side of the uniform, set against a powder blue backdrop with orange trim. It also features the “Tune Squad” team logo together with the individual player’s number. 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 forthcoming follow-up, posted a video of him wearing a black hat emblazoned with the sequel’s logo, which pays homage to the original Michael Jordan-starring movie, with a similar circular pattern wrapped around the title’s cosmic-style text.
With more and more teasers being posted for the animated/live-action mash-up, Space Jam: A New Legacy appears to be on schedule to slam-dunk its July 16, 2021 release date despite all of 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.
