Chicago Bulls

Michael Jordan.

The Bulls logo is only iconic because of Michael Jordan. If Jordan isn’t drafted to the Bulls, they don’t win six titles and become the greatest team of the ’90s. The Portland Trail Blazers draft Jordan and the Bulls are left with Sam Bowie. Ask Portland fans how things have gone for them since then.

If Jordan goes to the Blazers, this spot is occupied by Portland’s logo. Their pinwheel is pretty cool and deserves more recognition. I wish Damian Lillard the best of luck and hope he can make the Blazers logo iconic. But as it currently stands, it’s not iconic. The Bulls logo is iconic. All thanks to Jordan.

You could’t leave the house in the ’90s without seeing Bulls gear around town. It’s like leaving the house today and seeing the Golden State Warriors logo on the east coast. When someone re-writes this slider in 10 years, the Warriors logo will make the list because the Warriors will have won 10 out of the last 12 titles.

The Bulls logo was founded with the team in 1966 and it hasn’t changed. Very few teams can say that. When Jordan joined the team, he became the logo. Take a close look at the logo. Look into the eyes and angry brow. Stare into the soul of the bull. You’ll see Jordan ready to punch Steve Kerr in the face.

This is one logo that should never change. It’s been perfect since it debuted in 1966 and it’ll be perfect in 2066.
