Next week, downtown Cleveland will get a new giant banner to replace the massive Nike roadside display that went down when LeBron left town.
Tuesday October 26, Sherwin Williams — the company whose world headquarters resides in the Landmark Office Towers building across the street from the Q — will hoist a new banner entitled “Our Home Since 1866. Our Pride Forever.” The picture of the Cleveland skyline will be ten stories tall, 210 feet wide, and 1.3 tons heavy. It features a full lighting system that will sparkle at night.
A 12-worker crew will begin hanging the 14 vinyl mesh panels 7 a.m. Tuesday. The same size as the LeBanner, it will be one of the five largest wall displays in America. — D.X. Ferris

I am glad they decided to get rid of the Lebron banner. Our city and team is about all for one and one for all … not all one player … that’s the type of attitude we need to transfer to the city.
However, doesn’t the new banner look kind of dreary? Considering Cleveland has 51% gray days and only 49% sunny days, the banner should add more color. Make it pop!
Thankgoodness, it’s not going up until next week, there’s still time to change it!
Great advertisement from Sherwin Williams Paint company-A Black and White Photo!!! Who’ s the marketing genius behind that? You’d think they would promote bright, brilliant color in there homage to Cleveland.
Eh, what the hell do I know, I’ve only been an artist in Cleveland for 30years…
People will always find something to complain about…
lol seriously it makes cleveland looks scary and dreary…it should say “Now that Lebron is gone and our economy is in the tank, come see the big dreary cloud hovering over us”
