LeBron James was booed loudly when he was introduced before the Miami Heat’s Wednesday game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but not all fans of his former team are on board with the vitriol. Before the game, a group of fans handed out shirts that read “Come Home LeBron” on the front.

For reference, this is how Cavs fans reacted on July 8, 2010, when James announced he was signing with the Heat on the infamous The Decision ESPN special:
The shirts advertise the website of the Come Home LeBron (http://comehomelebron.com) campaign, which includes this mission statement:
Our goal is very simple: To show LeBron that some attitudes in Northeast Ohio have changed. Many of us who felt betrayed and scorned are turning and we are open to having him come back. It’s not an expectation that he comes back…it’s to show that the masses don’t all feel the hatred that was portrayed before.
Is it everyone? Absolutely not. We respect that a lot of people still have tough feelings about the whole Decision and its aftermath. Some never stopped being a fan of LeBron and others have let time heal their wounds. We want to win and we know that LeBron probably does want to win for Cleveland.
