Cleveland fans upset with the planned removal of the giant LeBron James banner across from Quicken Loans Arena can take some comfort in knowing that Sherwin-Williams Co. will put it back up this fall.
The company announced in May that it would be replace the 10-story-tall James banner with a red, white and blue one that says, ''This Land is Our Land.'' A company spokesman says that banner is meant to celebrate Sherwin-Williams' 150th anniversary and to welcome visitors to the Republican National Convention.
Upset fans recently created a petition drive on Change.org urging the company not to remove the James banner after he led the Cavaliers to the city's first major sports title in 52 years.
The spokesman says the LeBron banner will stay up until July 4, two weeks before the start of the convention. The tri-color banner will be on the wall of the paint company's headquarters for about three months.
