The iconic LeBron James banner, hung on the side of the Sherwin Williams global headquarters, is getting a makeover and was revealed on Saturday.

The new 10-story banner will be identical to the 2014 version with one addition to the collar of James' jersey - the Larry O'Brien trophy.

The golden patch will appear on the back of every Cavalier's players' jersey this season. 

The banner weighs nearly 2,600 pounds, stretches 210 feet wide and would take more than 3,600 people to fill its space.

This marks the sixth banner to go up on the side of the building in 11 years. 

In June, Sherwin Williams announced that the banner would come down and be replaced with another to celebrate the company's 150th anniversary. But, more than 23,000 people signed a Change.org petition asking the company to leave it up.

Installation of the banner was complete by 5 p.m. on Saturday.
