Grey Flannel Auctions is positioning this as a golden opportunity for die-hard Bulls fans and collectors to own authentic championship history. The letter of authenticity adds legitimacy, and the banner's 'excellent condition' despite being over 32 years old makes it seem like a pristine investment piece.
Here's where it gets interesting — who had the authority to sell this? Chicago Stadium shut down in 1994, so someone held onto this massive 9x14 foot banner for three decades before deciding now was the time to cash out. Insiders are wondering if the team was even aware this was being auctioned off.
The exact '92-93 NBA World Champions banner measures 9 feet 8 inches by 14 feet 4 inches — that's roughly 140 square feet of championship vinyl. Bidding opened at $1,000 with 4 bids already placed as of publication. The auction closes June 14, 2026.
For a banner that represents one of the most iconic dynasties in sports history? That opening bid feels like a steal — but expect serious collectors to drive this thing way higher before the gavel drops.
A genuine piece of Chicago Bulls dynasty history just hit the auction block, and it's guaranteed to make any Michael Jordan superfan weak in the knees. The exact 1992-93 NBA World Champions banner that once hung triumphantly in the old Chicago Stadium is now live at Grey Flannel Auctions — not a replica, not a souvenir, but the real deal that witnessed history. Let's talk about what you're actually buying here: this isn't some framed autograph or a signed basketball.
This is a massive vinyl banner measuring a whopping 9 feet 8 inches by 14 feet 4 inches — roughly the size of a small studio apartment covered in championship glory. The banner features bold black "CHICAGO BULLS" lettering at the top, the iconic Bulls logo prominently displayed below it, and "NBA WORLD CHAMPIONS 1992-93" sewn underneath. It hung in Chicago Stadium until 1994 when the building shut down for good, meaning this piece of fabric witnessed both the glory days AND the end of an era.
Grey Flannel Auctions claims the banner is in "excellent condition," though they're being honest about its age — over 32 years old comes with some wear and tear. The authenticity letter that accompanies it notes "minor toning" giving the banner an "off-white look" along with some "thread pulls." Honestly? That just makes it more authentic.
A pristine 32-year-old banner would almost be suspicious. The Bulls' '92-93 season was absolute cinema. They finished the regular season 57-25, swept both the Hawks and Cavs in early playoff rounds, then found themselves down 2-0 against the physical New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals before storming back with four straight wins.
The NBA Finals saw them defeat Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns — who owned the league's best record at 62-20 that year — claiming their third consecutive championship title. Bidding opened at just $1,000, and already four bids have been placed as of publication. But don't let that modest starting price fool you — this auction closes on June 14, giving collectors plenty of time to get into a bidding war over a genuine artifact from the greatest dynasty in basketball history.
