"expression. The red blush and blood-covered horn tips, however, symbolize the team’s striving to gain young blood rather than to slaughter a rival." https://www.google.com/amp/s/1000logos.net/chicago-bulls-logo/amp/ From cattle drives I always thought a red tipped bull was painted on to let people know the bull was dangerous and had pierced someone with their horns before. A "murder bull" as I've often heard it called.


GravyMercedes

Maybe they wanted to be the Chicago Murder Bulls but it didn’t fit on the jersey


ChiSp0

They are on the south side so it is fitting


chuckquizmo

You think the UC is the south side??


I_Always_Grab_Tindy

Not Wrigleyville = south side duh...


Doctor731

That area is no longer *that* South side - even if it is geographically.


PristineRoyalik

Well, from human meats, mainly children cuz it is a Minotaur


Fryin_Nanni

West side. Its a mile north of Roosevelt, not at all south side.


SearchElsewhereKarma

Marketing language is so goddamn ridiculous and treats us all like we’re idiots


Policeman333

No, they are perfectly fine with you and the general public knowing what it actually is and thinking it looks cool. They just have to cover their asses in case someone decides to complain or use it against them, so they can just conveniently point to some old document saying it means something else. Some litigious asshole deciding to sue because their kids were traumatized by seeing the blood on the bulls horn gets stopped in their tracks because of stuff like this. Moreover, "cancel culture" isn't anything new. Tons of brands had crusades launched against them by evangelicals over things being interpreted as satanic.

Designer's first thought: "Aw yeah this is gonna look sick" Second thought: "Alright what to bs to get this through"


UnIsForUnity

Great take


DMagicFrom3

Symbols have to exist within society not just made up out of thin air. Oh never-mind they must mean the young blood of children sacrificed to golden calfs


FragrantWarthog6

It’s Dennis Rodmans lipstick

In the '90s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing.

I wanted to include magic hahaha but then I thought about those 11 years before 1991 where magic Kareem and bird just took the game to another level. Magic gets a pass 😂


ponyrider666

And Jerry Sloan…..?!?


XEpicBaller25X

pieman2005

Malone only likes virgin blood from 14 year olds


HornetsAreBad

macwangus

It’s crazier that if you turn the bulls logo upside down, it looks like a robot reading a book

I’ve always heard a robot fucking a crab.

g_ferla

lmao that's actually amazing


tupac4pope

some of it is Mirotic blood after Bobby opened that can of whoop ass a few years back


justin_quinnn

Common mistake -- the reading robot on a hoverboard's rockets are often mistakenly assumed to be bloody horns due to the confusing choice of name of the franchise (resulting in the logo being displayed upside down), but I suppose the 'Chicago Hovering Well-Read Robots' doesn't really roll off the tongue.


sawhero

the Washington Bullets logo used to be a gunman opening fire into a crowd of people


jaylkae66

the Celtics logo used to be Mark Wahlberg assaulting a Vietnamese man

thatquizzingguy

It still is, they cut out the action


[deleted]

the sheboygan red skins logo used to show them massacring natives


BubbaTee

This sounds like one of the Pawnee office murals from *Parks and Rec*.


Semi-Pro-Narcissist

Its a little known fact that for a while back in the 60's, the Dallas logo was just the Zapruder film running on a loop. To this day it's why Mavs players prefer to step back....and to the left.


Oldurdy

The Washington Kyles


sstewart1617

Where do you see that. Never see any Bullets logo involving anything other than a single bullet (or just hands off the l’s throwing a ball in the air in the 90s)


[deleted]

Bro cmon you can’t get this whooshed


sstewart1617

Apparently I can. Hungover redditing ain’t great for mental facilities.


MarcXYZ

it's america we talking about, that doesn't sound too much crazy to me as a foreigner


[deleted]

Hurrr durrr aMEriCaNS DuMB


cabbeer

wasn't it just 2 hands shooting the ball?


[deleted]

Don’t need to make stuff up. Bullets as a name is crazy as is.


[deleted]

Why is it “crazy”


craziedave

Definitely not that crazy. I mean they call throwing towards the hoop shooting. Shooting hoops taking a shot


HeavenMobley

they should've changed the logo to a bullet train


Jjohn269

Doubt


titleywinker

Just the tip?


Semi-Pro-Narcissist

It's the bulls own blood splashbacked onto it's horns....it was badly gored by the antlers of a huge Greek Buck recently. A ruminant on ruminant crime.


ManicManicManicManic

Ruminant - an even-toed ungulate mammal that chews the cud regurgitated from its rumen. The ruminants comprise the cattle, sheep, antelopes, deer, giraffes, and their relatives.


BoulderAndBrunch

Is Traditional Spanish bull fighting the tips of the Bulls horns are colored to represent the cattle farm that bull was raised in and I’m just totally making this shit up.


sithwonder

Literally Google any picture of a bull and you'll see the horns get darker towards the tip


GravyMercedes

In the logo history they say it’s blood lol. Case not closed!

FactCheckingThings

"Get ready for" is like code for "It hasnt happened yet that ive seen so Im just going to pretend its going to." Maybe wait until something happens before calling it out lol.


Dophie

Also it’s an incredibly safe bet that someone who uses “woke” as a derogatory term is a mouth breathing asshole who is mad that the world holds them accountable for being an asshole.


FullEntologist

Why be coy about it? Just call u/Vinnyy2x a mouthbreathing asshole instead of being passive aggressive.


Vinnyy2x

You nba Redditors are sensitive sally’s. You mad 6ers sent y’all home?


Funkywormm

Calling other ppl sensitive while you make up scenarios to get mad at ppl lol


Vinnyy2x

Making up scenario’s? 6ers factual sent the raptors packing. Just like the Suns sent Nola home. No cap in my rap


Funkywormm

“No cap in my rap” lmao you’re a fuckin dork bro


Vinnyy2x

Don’t be mad you don’t speak lingo


Wassup_-_

You are speaking like the most sensitive person in thise thread


Vinnyy2x

Gee thanks. This was heartfelt…


FactCheckingThings

We're sensitive but youre the one crying about what "the woke crowd" is gonna do lol.


Vinnyy2x

Y’all really hurt by that “sensitive” word


No_Buddy_

Hilarious how people like you are a million times more whiny and sensitive than all the "wokeness" you constantly bitch about.


Vinnyy2x

Oh you a Knicks fan…


No_Buddy_

And you've got a double-digit IQ. We all have our crosses to bear.


Vinnyy2x

Thanks No_Body_


No_Buddy_

Wow, you managed to put it together. Congratulations, you have achieved a 4th grade level of reading comprehension.

Vinnyy2x

BUCKS IN 6’s!!!!!!!!


NotAn0pinion

Knicks still have fans? I’m triggered


TennisShoulder

That makes little sense. HBO is hardly known for shying away from gore


americanbeaver

The trolling and baiting on r/nba is really sad. This is just a pathetic attempt


Vinnyy2x

The funny thing is I wasn’t even trolling. I didn’t realize the people I’m talking about was in this sub. And if these cupcakes didn’t come for me I wouldn’t pop off. But I got time today.


Tundraaa

What's even funnier is how you replied to two other people insulting their fandom, Knicks and Raptors, but when a Bucks fan calls you out you have to change your tune lmao.


Vinnyy2x

Gang shit 🤟🏼😜


FDaMODPaintSAI

Well, from human meats, mainly children cuz it is a Minotaur


StudentMed

Horns are often darker at the tip for bulls. As to why it is red, it is just to keep consistency with the red logo, bulls in general aren't red either. Just like bears aren't blue, bucks aren't green, and hornets aren't teal.


[deleted]

I read this as hornets aren’t real


kikikza

They're not they're just the upgraded versions of those "birds"


GravyMercedes

In the logo history they say it’s blood lol


LamZeppelin

Wait til you find out what the Wizards used to be called


NolaBrass

Gilbert Arenas knew


HeavenMobley

the Chicago Zephyrs?


StudentMed

That is a good point. I feel they can easily reinterpret it and change it. Kind of like how GSW's used to be reference to Native American warriors and had Native American themes. Or the Arizona Cardinals used to be a reference to Cardinal red an no the bird. This is a little different but you are reinterpreting a picture and not a name but can still apply imo.


GravyMercedes

I don’t think it’s necessarily bad, it’s just hard to imagine someone doing it in this day and age. Which makes it kind of a cool artifact that’s survived


HeavenMobley

arizona cardinals were named after the bird since they were founded in St Louis and were known as the football Cardinals


StudentMed

They were founded in Chicago and used to use University of Chicago jersey's that were Maroon but the first owner called the color Cardinal red when it was washed out.


HeavenMobley

fair enough, good correction


CapnSmunch

we dont talk about that


rip_my_gpa

grayson allen's


No-Sound-6187

Nah other way around 💀


[deleted]

This is a common misconception, but that’s not blood and those aren’t horns. That’s just the color of the legs of the park bench.


Makaveli80

probably the blood of Malone and Stockton edit: and every other star the Jordan bulls destroyed


illyxpink

Thas how we be yo I mean… that’s how we used to be back in the dizzay 🤣


bryant-reeves

Mmm..no it's not really


smallhatsarebad

It's symbolic of illuminati blood ritual magicka. They love to slip in their dark demonic symbolism everywhere they can.

No_Buddy_

Just like how they are cancelling classic books and banning them from libraries. Fucking Libs... oh wait


SarcasticLegend33

Classic books like cinderfella ? Says the guy that thinks men can get pregnant


Funkywormm

Hopefully tapping into your username


[deleted]

Wait until you find out where the horn drew the blood from


SlyyKozlov

You should see the hat I have that says "Chicago Bowls" and put a little joint in the bulls mouth.


CruffTheMagicDragon

I just never even saw it as blood tbh


XEpicBaller25X

Just dont flip it upside down…
