The moment LeBron James announced his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, fans either brought out the jerseys they'd stashed away for four years or bought new gear. In fact, LeBron's new home and away Cavs jerseys sold out even before he had decided which number he'd wear.
No worries, though, because adidas has a jersey T-shirt that's still available, and they're clearly stocking up for King James' homecoming now that he's announced he'll be rocking 23 on the court. ESPN Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell tweeted out the above photo from an adidas facility in Indianapolis, which shows bins upon bins of the $26 T-shirt that the company is clearly expecting to move.
Good news for fans who either burned their LeBron merch and now regret it, or who aren't able to cop from the apparel and merchandise retailer Fanatics, who made No. 23 Cavs jerseys in the signature gold and wine colors.
