Space Jam’s sequel is already much-anticipated. Fans are wracking their brains to figure out how the second part will pan out. It has been 24-years since the first part hit the screens, where Michael Jordan played the lead and became the savior for the ‘Tune Squad.’ But this time, it’s LeBron James.

In some exciting news, we have a sneak peek of the uniforms that the team will wear!

The Instagram page of ‘UNINTERRUPTED’ provided us with a sneak peek of the vibrant uniform design of the ‘Tune Squad’ from the upcoming movie, ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy.’

The captain and the star of the team, LeBron James, graced the video by sporting the bright design, which contains a shade of aqua blue as the primary color and some orange to compliment it. We certainly like it! LeBron has posted a video about the new uniform reveal on his IG handle as well. 

This certainly is a major design upgrade from what MJ wore in his Space Jam movie. They didn’t have all these bright-colored uniforms to attract the fans. However, the upcoming feature will definitely be much more of a visual treat than its prequel.

The makers loved having LBJ on the project, and the feeling was mutual. LeBron James admitted to have loved to be a part of the franchise when he delivered a touching speech to the crew upon the completion of filming. 

The audio obtained by TMZ Sports shows us how James can always be someone who can deliver inspiring speeches. “I’m gonna be honest completely with you guys — when I found out about the project, I was like it’s ‘Space Jam’! It’s a movie that I grew up watching. People in the movie that I idolize. I was like absolutely, I gotta do it,” LeBron said. “There’s no way I can turn down ‘Space Jam’!”

“I’m just a small kid from Akron, Ohio — a very small town outside of Cleveland,” he continued. “From a single-parent household, I’m the only child. My mother had absolutely nothing. She was walking around high school when she was 16 years old and she was pregnant with me as a high school sophomore. So I’m really not supposed to be here.”

The Space Jam sequel is on cards to release in 2021. Amid the waiting period, we might see the makers raise our expectations with more sneak peeks!
