When LeBron left the Cavs for the Heat back in 2010, his signature “Witness” banner was torn down. Now, Nike designed a banner to take the place of the mural. Hit the jump for details.
Via CBS Sports:
The Sherwin-Williams Co. and Gigantic Media are asking the city to approve a new 10-story banner of LeBron James, who graced the side of the Landmark Office Towers until he left Cleveland for the Miami Heat in 2010. The new image is almost a reversal of the old banner, which showed James from the front and carried the tagline “We Are All Witnesses.”
“I think it was genius to put Cleveland on his back,” committee member Jeffrey Bogart said of the new design, in which James faces away from passersby and sports a jersey bearing the city’s name, instead of his own. “To have Cleveland – it’s about Cleveland, it’s not about one person.”
