Hoop with Pride in the Chicago Popes Basketball Shirt!
Celebrate a unique Chicago connection with the Chicago Popes Basketball Shirt, a bold design that bridges sports and history in 2025! This shirt honors the historic election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, who was born as Cardinal Robert Prevost on Chicago’s South Side and elected on May 8, 2025.

The “Chicago Popes” name playfully merges his papal title with the city’s basketball legacy, tying Leo XIV’s rise to the Chicago Bulls’ iconic history—known for Michael Jordan’s six NBA titles – and the current 2025 Bulls roster, led by Zach LaVine, who’s averaging 25 points per game this season. Perfect for Bulls fans, Chicago natives, and those celebrating this global milestone, this shirt is a slam dunk for city pride.
The design features “CHICAGO POPES” in bold red text with a basketball graphic, flanked by a papal mitre and a bear symbol, all on a sleek black tee that nods to the Bulls’ classic colors. Made from soft, high-quality cotton, this unisex shirt ensures a comfortable fit for game nights, community events, or showing off your Chicago spirit.
