Chicago unveiled its Statement jerseys for the 2025-26 season on Tuesday<\/a>, with the iconic black uniforms with red pinstripes, which debuted during the Michael Jordan era, making their return. It’s the third Statement Edition uniform throughout the franchise’s almost 60-year history.<\/p>\n

Jordan and the Bulls first wore the threads during the 1995-96 campaign when the team went 72-10 and won a championship. Chicago also donned the look during the 1996-97, 2007-08 and 2012-13 seasons, but hasn’t worn the design since 2013. Previous black uniforms either did not have pinstripes or featured embossed gray pinstripes.<\/p>\n

The Bulls tapped Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman to assist with the reveal, who called the uniforms his favorite. Rodman aided the franchise in winning back-to-back championships when the uniform was in rotation.<\/p>\n

“I remember when we first introduced this. It was legendary man,” Rodman said<\/a>. “These jerseys right here are legendary. I’s not even a throwback. It’s like brand-new for the new generation.”<\/p>\n

Chicago will wear the threads during select Statement Edition game nights in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Even though the franchise hasn’t donned this specific design since 2013, its legacy was strong enough that MLB’s Chicago White Sox<\/a> used it as inspiration<\/a> for their 2025 City Connect uniform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Bulls‘ red pinstripes are back.
