The Bulls will reportedly get an additional road uniform
soon, a black jersey featuring red pinstripes, according to Mark
Woods of FLORIDA TODAY. The new uniforms will not have the
club's logo set on a large rectangle that is currently featured
on Bulls' red away shorts. Woods: "Apparently the Bulls and the
NBA are looking for new ways to tap into the Michael Jordan
jersey market" (FLORIDA TODAY, 11/11). One Bulls player has
called the uniform "disgusting." The Bucks will unveil a green
road look sometime next month (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL,
11/11).
SEEING RED: Charles Barkley launched into a "classic Sir
Charles stream of consciousness" last week after watching tape of
the Rockets and their new look. Barkley: "You've got the two-
time world champions and they dress them up like this? I can
deal with the uniforms if the court wasn't so bad. Anything to
make money. These owners have no respect for the players or the
fans" (FLA TODAY, 11/11).
