Cleveland V. RNC? GOP Plans To Take Down City's Iconic LeBron James Sign

LeBron James' classic sign in downtown Cleveland got a new addition after Sunday's NBA championship victory, but will the sign still come down for the RNC?

On Monday, Sherwin Williams, stated that it will be coming down.

For now, King James head is crowned with the Champions title, leading off with a wine and gold Cavs "C." The new addition comes via a laser that projects onto the canvas.

But the RNC has slated a red, white and blue proclamation declaring — this land is our land — for the spot on the Sherwin Williams headquarters where LeBron now stands, arms up, over the city. Early Monday it was unclear whether the Cavs sign would stay since Cleveland won the NBA championship with James chosen as MVP.

Hopeful speculation was out that it might stay if enough RNC-goers want their picture with the king.

But at later in the day, Sherwin Williams confirmed that LeBron is coming down for the RNC. But it said the banner is going to stay up for the time being so that fans could see it with the words "Champions" added.
