“Sneak peek,” the tweet says.
It's a modern update to the uniform worn by Michael Jordan in the blockbuster 1996 film.
In a short video that accompanies the tweet, James walks out in a very bold aqua and orange uniform.
The circular Looney Tunes logo that appeared on the jersey in the original film now takes up a lot more space as it spreads from the shorts to the top, while "Tune Squad" splays across the chest.
The highly anticipated sequel was announced in 2018 and is slated to open July 16, 2021.
James, a 16-time All-Star and three-time NBA champion who is now with the Los Angeles Lakers, seems to have enjoyed the filmmaking process.
