There are times when nostalgia is overblown, when we all love throwback uniforms and remakes of old movies and TV series because they’re something we’re familiar with.
But when it comes to the new Space Jam: A New Legacy uniforms LeBron James will wear — which we got to see on Monday night — in the sequel to the Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny flick, the original Tune Squad unis are better.
A twelve-second clip revealed James wearing a kit that had teal on one side and the Looney Tunes circles (the ones Porky Pig uses to say “That’s all folks!”) splashed across them. There’s a lot going on here, to be honest:
It’s a take on the originals, with those same circles and the blue “Tune Squad” name on the center of a mostly white uni:
Simple and understated. I’m not saying James’ movie had to lift them directly, but if we’re comparing the two, it’s MJ > James.
All of that said, I’m excited to see James’ movie, mostly to see him act with cartoons.
