The Chicago Bulls are a professional basketball team based in Chicago, Illinois. They play in the National Basketball Association. The team was founded in 1966, and has won six NBA Championships since.

Uniform and logo

The Bulls’ have three different uniforms: a white home uniform, a red road uniform, and a black alternate road uniform. The design of the white and red sets are nearly identical, with the team name featured on the front over the number, and the player’s last name over the number on the back. The shorts have the Bulls logo in a diamond shaped design on the sides of the legs. The less-often used black uniform shares the same design as the white and the red ones, except that “Bulls” is replaced with “Chicago” on the front of the jersey.

The Bulls wear white shoes during the regular season, but black shoes during the playoffs. This unnofficial tradition goes back to the Jordan era. The Bulls also wear only their red uniform on the road during the playoffs.

The Bulls’ logo is a red bull’s face with an angry expression. The horns are tipped with blood.

The Bulls have recently implementated strict rules on dress code by not allowing players to wear such acessories as head bands and wrist bands. The new dress code has not upset too many players. The dress code was put in place by Scott Skiles, so players would look more professional and would hopefully instill traits such as respect and humbleness within the team.
