Chicago Bulls Mitchell & Ness Derrick Rose Caricature Shirt
Before the injuries and the trades, there was a moment when Derrick Rose owned Chicago. He was the hometown hero, the number one pick, and the explosive point guard who played with a speed the league had never seen. This shirt captures that specific magic with a retro-style caricature that harkens back to the golden age of sports merchandise. The design features the exaggerated, dynamic “big head” art style that was iconic in the 90s and 2000s, portraying D-Rose driving the lane in his classic Bulls red.

This isn’t just a piece of fan gear; it’s a time capsule. It celebrates the 2010-2011 MVP season when the United Center was the loudest building in the NBA. The caricature adds a layer of fun and personality that standard jersey tees lack, making it a standout piece for anyone who collects vintage sports apparel. Whether you were there for the playoff runs or you just appreciate the legacy of one of the game’s most electrifying players, this shirt lets you rep the “Pooh” era with pride.

What is the “caricature” style? It refers to the vintage-inspired art style popular in the 90s and 2000s sports apparel, featuring exaggerated features (like a larger head and expressive face) on an action-posed body. It’s a fun, nostalgic way to celebrate a player.
Is this shirt official Mitchell & Ness? This design is inspired by the Mitchell & Ness “Hardwood Classics” aesthetic, celebrating the history of the game. It uses the high-quality Gildan Heavy Cotton blank to ensure a similar durable, classic streetwear feel.
How does the print quality handle the colorful graphic? We use Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, which is excellent for complex, multi-colored images like this caricature.
