===Uniforms=== ====1966β1973 uniforms==== The Bulls wear three different uniforms: a white uniform, a red uniform, and a black [[third jersey|alternate]] uniform. The original uniforms were esthetically close to the current design, featuring the iconic diamond surrounding the Bulls logo on the shorts and block lettering. What distinguished the original uniforms were the black drop shadows, red or white side stripes with black borders, and white lettering on the red uniforms. For the 1969β70 season, the red uniforms were tweaked to include the city name.<ref name=bullsuniforms>{{cite news |title=9 eye-catching Bulls jerseys over the years |url=http://history.bulls.com/9-eye-catching-bulls-jerseys-over-the-years/ |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=History.Bulls.com |date=December 16, 2015 |access-date=April 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170404043348/http://history.bulls.com/9-eye-catching-bulls-jerseys-over-the-years/|archive-date=April 4, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> ====1973β1985 uniforms==== For the 1973β74 season, the Bulls drastically changed their look, removing the side stripes and drop shadows while moving the front numbers to the left chest. While the white uniforms saw the "Bulls" wordmark go from a vertically arched to radially arched arrangement, the red uniforms saw a more significant makeover, featuring black lettering and a script "Chicago" wordmark. With a few tweaks in the lettering, these uniforms were used until 1985.<ref name=bullsuniforms/> This uniform set was later revived as a throwback uniform during the 2003β04 and 2015β16 seasons. ====1985βpresent uniforms==== Starting with the 1985β86 season, the Bulls updated their uniform. Among the more notable changes in the look were centered uniform numbers and a vertically arched "Bulls" wordmark in both the red and white uniforms. Like the previous set, this uniform saw a few tweaks particularly in the treatment of the player's name.<ref name=bullsuniforms/> When [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] became the NBA's uniform provider in 2017, the Bulls kept much of the same look save for the truncated shoulder striping and the addition of the [[Flag of Chicago|Chicago four stars]] on the waistline. With Nike and the NBA eliminating designations on home and away uniforms, the Bulls also announced that their red "Icon" uniforms would become their home uniforms, and the white "Association" uniforms would become their away uniforms.<ref>{{cite news |title=LOOK: Chicago Bulls unveil revamped Nike jerseys, opt to wear red for home games |url=https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/look-chicago-bulls-unveil-revamped-nike-jerseys-opt-to-wear-red-for-home-games/ |publisher=CBSSports.com |date=August 2, 2017 |access-date=November 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201032126/https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/look-chicago-bulls-unveil-revamped-nike-jerseys-opt-to-wear-red-for-home-games/|archive-date=December 1, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> The Bulls would continue to wear red "Icon" uniforms in home games until the 2020β21 season, after which they returned to wearing the white "Association" uniforms in home games starting in the 2021β22 season.<ref name=BullsHomeWhite>{{cite news |title=It's official, Bulls will wear white jerseys at home |url=https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-will-wear-white-uniforms-home-team-announces |publisher=NBCSports.com |date=October 7, 2021 |access-date=October 7, 2021 |archive-date=October 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211008001717/https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-will-wear-white-uniforms-home-team-announces |url-status=live }}</ref> ====Alternate black uniforms==== In the 1995β96 season, the Bulls added a black uniform to their set. The initial look featured red pinstripes and lacked the classic diamond on the shorts. This set was revived as throwback uniforms in the 2012β13 seasons.<ref name=bullsuniforms/> From the 1997β98 to the 2005β06 seasons, the Bulls wore slightly modified black uniforms without pinstripes. This set, with a few slight changes in the template, also marked the return of the city name in front of the uniform during the 1999β2000 season. The 2006β07 season saw another change in the Bulls' black alternate uniform, now resembling the red and white uniform with the addition of a red diamond in the shorts. For the 2014β15 season, the uniforms were tweaked a bit to include sleeves and a modernized diamond treatment in black with red and white borders.<ref name=bullsuniforms/> Since the 2017β18 season, the Bulls' black uniforms remained mostly untouched for the aforementioned switch to the new Nike logo that affected the treatment towards the shoulder piping. Nike also dubbed this uniform as the "Statement" uniform in reference to its third jerseys. The Bulls began wearing the Statement uniforms after Thanksgiving and they are currently used in away games against teams that wear their white, gray/silver or cream uniforms. The 2019β20 season marked the return of pinstripes to the Bulls' "Statement" uniform, albeit in dark gray. In addition, the diamond treatment returned to red, piping was tweaked, and four six-point stars were featured on the beltline. The Bulls wore this "Statement" uniform in select home games and away games against teams wearing white, cream, yellow, red or silver uniforms.<ref>{{cite news |title=Chicago Bulls Introduce New Statement Edition Uniforms for 2019-20 Season |url=https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/chicago-bulls-introduce-new-statement-edition-uniforms-2019-20-season |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |website=Bulls.com |date=October 5, 2019 |access-date=October 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191005234543/https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/chicago-bulls-introduce-new-statement-edition-uniforms-2019-20-season|archive-date=October 5, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=NBA Lockervision |url=https://lockervision.nba.com/ |publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC |access-date=October 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191212205628/https://lockervision.nba.com/|archive-date=December 12, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> ====Other uniforms==== The Chicago Bulls have worn various special edition uniforms throughout the years to celebrate different events and milestones. * '''Throwback Uniforms:''' In the 2005β06 season, the Bulls honored the defunct Chicago Stags with red and blue throwback uniforms, featuring red tops and blue shorts. * '''St. Patrick's Day Uniforms:''' From 2006 to 2017, the Bulls wore green versions of their red uniforms around [[St. Patrick's Day]], with modifications such as sleeved versions in 2015 and a sleeveless style in 2016β17. * '''Noche Latina:''' Between 2009 and 2017, the Bulls wore a red variation of their uniforms for the NBA's "Noche Latina," often featuring the "Los Bulls" wordmark.
