Bulls and Don C. launch new limited-edition “1966 x Just Don” capsule collection
The Chicago Bulls announced today the launch of its first official capsule collection designed by artist and celebrity streetwear designer Don C. The limited-edition collection will include a Bulls inspired rugby, hockey jersey, joggers, track jacket, two knitted beanies, coaches jacket and t-shirt. Fans can purchase items from the collection exclusively at the Madhouse Team Store inside the United Center atrium starting Friday, Feb. 24 – the team’s fourth City Edition Night of the season vs. the Brooklyn Nets – with prices ranging from $40-150.

Inspired by the style of gear across the sports industry, each piece in the collection highlights the increasing convergence between sports and fashion.

Additional pieces in the collection feature the rust color, including one of the knitted beanies, stripes down the sides of the joggers and elements throughout the track jacket, which also showcases Chicago’s
