<P> Even though the Bulls generally wear black footwear in the playoffs since 1989, there have been some notable exceptions . In the 1995 playoffs against the Magic, when Michael Jordan debuted his Air Jordan XI shoe, he wore the white colorway during the Bulls' playoff games in Orlando . He was fined by the Bulls for not complying with their colorway policy . During the 2009 playoffs, the Bulls again broke the tradition when all of their players wore white shoes and socks in Game 3 of the first round against the Boston Celtics . More recently, since the NBA's relaxation of sneaker color rules, some Bulls players wore either red or white sneakers in defiance of the tradition . </P> <P> The Bulls and their arena mates, the Chicago Blackhawks, shared an odd tradition dating to the opening of Chicago Stadium . Every fall, Feld Entertainment's Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Chicago on its nationwide tour . Since it used large indoor venues rather than tents, it took over the United Center for its entire run and the Bulls were forced, along with the Blackhawks, to take an extended road trip that lasted around two weeks . The start of the "circus trip", as many sportscasters dubbed it, was noted in local newspapers, television and radio sports reports as "the circus trip", along with national programs like SportsCenter . The annual circus trip will no longer take place starting with the 2017 - 2018 NBA season as Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz, who co-owns the United Center with Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, would let the contract lapse after the circus's 2016 run, and condensed the formerly two - week local run of Feld's Disney on Ice to a week - long period in February (which had also caused minor complications for scheduling in February). Feld and Ringling Bros. effectively made the former issue moot with their January 2017 announcement that the circus would end all operations nationwide in May 2017 due to costs and other multiple factors . </P> <P> Dick Klein wanted a name that evoked Chicago's traditional meat packing industry and the Chicago Stadium's proximity to the Union Stock Yards . Klein considered names like Matadors or Toreadors, but dismissed them, saying, "If you think about it, no team with as many as three syllables in its nickname has ever had much success except for the (Montreal Canadiens)." After discussing possible names with his family, Klein settled on Bulls when his son Mark said, "Dad, that's a bunch of bull!" </P> <P> The iconic Bulls' logo is a charging red bull's face (seen at left). The logo was designed by noted American graphic designer Dean P. Wessel and was adopted in 1966 . At one point, the Bulls also had an alternate logo during the early 1970s, featuring the same Bulls logo, but with a cloud that says "Windy City" below the bull's nose . </P>
