The Chicago Bulls back in the '90s was certainly a moment in time. Between Michael Jordan's legendary moves and historic stats after each game and Dennis Rodmans' iconic looks and stunts, it's hard to forget the impact the team left on the Black community.
Here are some pictures that captures some of the team's daring and fashionable moments off and on the court.

After returning from trying his hand at a career in baseball, Jordan returned to the Bulls to help the team clinch another title in 1996, according to the NBA. Their championship that year was the start of their three-peat NBA Finals win.
Standing together each holding their well-earned 1996 finals trophy, Scottie Pippen, Rodman and Jordan embodied '90s fashion.
Pippen opted to sport a pair overalls while Rodman flexed his muscles in an open buttoned shirt and oversized hat. Jordan, however, kept things rather simple and wore a pair of light-washed jeans and a t-shirt. Each men also rocked gold hoop earrings— a fashion staple for men that decade.

In 1993, Jordan decided to pair a denim shirt with some jeans as he threw out the first pitch at game one of the American League Championship Series.
Fans also speculated that year that he would announce his retirement from the NBA to play baseball.

After spending almost two years playing baseball, Jordan triggered more speculation after he was seen leaving practice with the Bulls.
Jordan was caught wearing a leather studded jacket with black pants and shades after one of the practices.

In one of Rodman's most controversial looks—because there were many— the basketball player wore a wedding dress and veil during a signing for his autobiography in 1996.

Prior to his daring wedding couture look, Rodman stepped out with red hair, a spaghetti strap cropped shirt, and oversized jeans.

But on the court, Rodman was suited up in the team's uniform but was known for having a daring hair color.
At one of the Bulls' games against the New York Knicks, Rodman played with green hair. He went on to have 20 rebounds that night.

Unlike his teammates though, Pippen kept his fashion statements mild.
While sitting on the bench nursing an injury, Pippen wore a brown suit with a matching tie— the fit was very on-brand for the 90s.

And either rocking a fade or low-cut 'fro, Pippen kept his haircut tight.

Jordan, however, was known for rocking his Jordan sneakers on the court.
