Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose make announcement ahead of jersey retirement

The Chicago Bulls are getting set to retire the jersey of Derrick Rose on January 24th when they take on the Boston Celtics at the United Center, honoring the Chicago native and former MVP. The celebration of Rose’s career will continue and it will be an emotional night at the United Center.

But ahead of the retirement, the Bulls and Rose teamed up for a very special collaboration.

The co-branded retail collection with team legend Derrick Rose featuring 20 items including a hoodie, letterman jacket and several shirts that will be available for purchase beginning on Jan. 24 exclusively at the United Center in the Madhouse Team Store and online at shop.bulls.com.

The Bulls collaborated closely with Rose throughout the design process to reflect his career, Chicago roots and iconic moments on and off the court. The Rose Collection contains 20 items, spanning from a vintage letterman jacket and graphic t-shirts to snapback hats and a custom hoodie.

Items will be available in limited quantities when the United Center opens to the public from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. and the entire collection becomes available both in-store and online when gates open at 5 p.m.

• Short-Sleeve Shirts ($50): Two t-shirts display moments from Rose’s career with the Bulls – one an image of Rose blowing a kiss to his family in the crowd ahead of a game during his MVP season (2010-11) and another a dunk against the New York Knicks during the 2011-12 season. The team will also sell a Mitchell & Ness team caricature t-shirt, depicting the 2010-11 Chicago Bulls.

• Long-Sleeve Shirt ($60): A long-sleeve shirt jersey, where the Bulls team name and No. 1 lettering is constructed out of roses. The name on the back reads “Forever”, nodding to Rose’s No. 1 jersey being permanently retired by the franchise.
