LeBron James Unveils New ‘Space Jam 2’ Basketball Uniform
Space Jam can’t make a fresh return in 2021 without new basketball uniforms that are as equally vibrant and eye-catching as the original’s cartoon cast.
LeBron James, who will star in the sequel to the 1996 animated classic, teased the revamped Tune Squad jersey on Twitter. The follow up to Michael Jordan’s uniform from the original Warner Bros. flick features even more color. The bright sky blue jersey reads “Tune Squad” in big purple print and even features the circles printed on Jordan’s uniform.
