LeBron James has been an outspoken supporter of Colin Kaepernick in the past, and he reminded everyone of that Friday with a fashion statement.

James sported a black jersey with Kaepernick's No. 7 as he got off the team plane ahead of the Lakers' game against Golden State.

Kaepernick has been one of the storylines heading into Super Bowl 53. Several high-profile entertainers, including Rihanna and Cardi B, turned down opportunities to perform during halftime as a show of support for the former 49ers quarterback. Kaepernick, of course, has been unable to find a job since opting out of his contract in March 2017.

Kaepernick later filed a collusion case against the NFL, alleging that the NFL and teams have made a coordinated effort to keep him out of the league because he initiated protests of social injustice by kneeling during the national anthem.

The quarterback has become a civil rights icon for some since he began his protests. Warriors star Kevin Durant is among those donning a black "#ImWithKap" jersey this week as a show of support. Kaepernick thanked Durant on Instagram, saying, "Thank you to my Brother @easymoneysniper for rockin with me, especially this week!"
