So, let’s jump right into 10 special theme nights you should seriously consider going to this year for the Bulls and Blackhawks.

Bulls Theme Nights

November 18 – City Edition Night

Up first for the Bulls theme nights is the first City Edition Night on the team’s home game schedule. This game takes place about a month after their home opener against the Orlando Magic. During City Edition Night, the Bulls plan on giving away a City Edition Shirsey – a shirt jersey for those who weren’t sure – to fans.

November 21 – Fan Appreciation Game

This next Bulls theme night takes place a few days before Thanksgiving on Monday, November 21. Watch the Bulls take on the Boston Celtics and celebrate your loyalty to the team with the Fan Appreciation Game. While they haven’t announced anything yet, we have to guess there will be some cool freebies for fans who can make it to this one.

March 17 – St. Patrick’s Day Game

Trade in your classic red Bulls jerseys for some leprechaun green ones on March 17 when the Bulls host the Minnesota Timberwolves for their St. Patrick’s Day Game. This Bulls theme night is sure to be an exciting watch as the Timberwolves enter this season with a refreshed roster featuring Rudy Gobert. If you can make it, you’re in luck, because some Constellation Energy Fanny Packs will be given away to attendees.

April 2 – Benny’s Birthday Game

What’s better than getting a high-five from Benny the Bull? Giving him a high five because it’s his birthday, that’s what!

On April 2 of next year, the Bulls host Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies for Benny’s Birthday Game. Celebrate our favorite mascot’s b-day, and secure a limited-edition Jewel-Osco Benny Bobblehead when you visit the United Center for the game.

April 4 – White Sox Night

On April 4, 2023, Chicago sports fans get the best of both worlds when White Sox Night comes to the United Center. NBC Sports Chicago plans on sponsoring this one, and they’ll be giving out some NBC Sports Chicago Bulls x White Sox Jerseys in honor of the special event. While we haven’t seen what these look like quite yet, we’re sure they’ll look as good as some of the other special edition Chicago sports uniforms that are out there.
