When was the last time the Bulls wore white at United Center?

Serious question

The NBA-Nike jersey fukkery has gotten out of hand

It annoys me too, and I know it annoys a lot of other fans on RealGM judging by past posts. Hard for me to imagine that Nike's getting the feedback that people love road jerseys at home.

Add me to the list, I don't like it much, either.

whites on the road are even worse

the whole alt jersey industrial complex nike has conjured is insufferable. I just want to go back to home/away/alt with the occasional throwback.

I don’t understand what’s going on with the jerseys either. Why does a team like Miami have a jersey in every possible color (it’s true, don’t look it up)? Like...they have yellow jerseys???

Ditto to everything said so far in this thread. I really miss red on the road and white at home. Honestly I don't even like the city jerseys we have this year. We should never have yellow or gold or w/e that trim color is, in anything we wear as a team.

Count me in the group that hates it. That one game where two teams dressed in orange and yellow I think, summed up the idiotic starburst trend.

Yeah I can’t stand it at all. Bring back white as permanent home jersey with exceptions for holidays. Having 20 different jerseys sucks too but fine, they gotta maximize the amount of money they can make. Just make it white at home and red away for the playoffs.

Not wearing white at home was a decision made by the Bulls front office that declared they'd wear red at home. Not ah the behest from the NBA, just the decision of the front office...

I know white was standard to wear at home for many years and everyone got used to that but I like that they wear red instead. It’s the bulls team colors and I think it makes more sense to wear that at home. I like the change and hope it stays like this.

I'd have white at home, red on the road, and on occasion the Chicago theme unis. Oh and sure, green on St. Paddie's Day. That would be plenty.

Hard to know who’s even playing these days if you were just looking at jerseys. It’s terrible. Should always be white at home.

There is zero brand identity now

I’m watching the game right now

Thought Cavs were at home

Someone should just find an account at Nike we can email/tweet at to complain. If you have 15 people send the same complaint, it'll get noticed.

The NBA changed the rule when Nike became the apparel sponsor that teams have choice of what their home uniform is. Bulls decided to wear red because that is our main color.

The first year this happened was the first year of the LaVine era, and I called it when Zach, Lauri and Kris had their intro PC and were handed red jerseys when new players were always handed the white jersey in intro presses

I agree, I always thought it was weird the home team whore a generic white instead of their team colors. No other sport does this.

Yep. It's the far better looking jersey and, as such, should be the home jersey.

Things don't always need to stay the same just because they've been some way. This is better.

The alternate **** is annoying, though.

No I totally love turning on ESPN and seeing a team wearing pink playing a team wearing rainbow jerseys and having to guess which teams are playing.
