1996 Logo Athletic Chicago Bulls NBA Championship Official Locker Room Snapback Hat / Cap (With Original Retail Tags) (New Old Stock - NOS / Deadstock). An original period piece celebrating one of the most legendary seasons in basketball history and preserved in remarkable New Old Stock / Deadstock condition with its original retail tags still attached. Produced by Logo Athletic as an Official Locker Room Cap, the hat features an elaborate championship design across the front with the Chicago Bulls logo, NBA lettering, basketball graphics and bold embroidered "Champions 1996" decoration, all set against a cream colored crown with a contrasting black bill. Even more impressive is the survival of the original attached tags, including the Logo Athletic tag, NBA Official Licensed Product hologram tag and Official Locker Room Cap championship tag, giving the piece the appearance of an example that has remained unworn since the height of the Bulls dynasty. The cap commemorates the extraordinary 1995 to 1996 Chicago Bulls, a team led by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman under head coach Phil Jackson that produced a then NBA record 72 and 10 regular season, widely establishing itself as one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Jordan returned to full dominance by capturing the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, All Star Game MVP and NBA Finals MVP, while the Bulls defeated the Seattle SuperSonics in six games to claim their fourth NBA championship and begin the franchise's second three peat. Official locker room championship apparel occupies a special place in sports collecting because these designs are forever associated with the immediate celebration following a title, when players and team personnel donned championship gear on the court and inside the locker room. More than three decades later, finding an original 1996 Bulls championship cap is desirable in its own right, but encountering one still retaining its original period retail and NBA licensing tags in unused deadstock condition is particularly impressive. Combining tremendous eye appeal, official NBA licensing, original Logo Athletic production, exceptional preservation and a direct connection to Michael Jordan's historic 72 win championship season, this spectacular cap represents a tremendous addition to any Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan, 1990s NBA, vintage sportswear or championship memorabilia collection.
