There’s never a bad time for the Chicago Bulls to go back to the Michael Jordan well.
The franchise did so Tuesday, revealing a new set of Statement Edition uniforms for the 2025-26 season that feature a black-and-red pinstripe look harkening back to their dominant era of the 1990s. It’s the first time they’ve used the look since the 2012-13 season.
Per ESPN, the Bulls introduced the look in the 1995-96 season and used it again in 1996-97, 2007-08 and 2012-13.

To honor the occasion, Chicago turned to Dennis Rodman, who won two championships while wearing these uniforms alongside Jordan, for a video reacting to the look with current players Coby White and Matas Buzelis.
“These are nice,” Rodman said in the Bulls’ video. “I remember when we first introduced this. It was legendary, man, these jerseys right here are legendary. It’s not even a throwback. It’s, like, brand-new for the new generation.
“This is gonna be really cool for Chicago … this brings back memories.”
The Bulls aren’t the first Jerry Reinsdorf-owned team to add black-and-red pinstripes this year, as the Chicago White Sox also introduced a City Connect in May as a nod to the Bulls.
But while the 2025-26 Bulls might dress like the Jordan Bulls, next season’s team isn’t expected to be quite as dominant. They currently hold the 22nd-best title odds at BetMGM (+50000) after going 39-43 last season, with former Cleveland Cavaliers wing Isaac Okoro and first-round pick Noa Essengue representing their only major additions in the offseason.
