Between Chicago Bulls or Chicago Bears, which sports souvenir from Chicago would a Chinese tourist prefer? Culturally speaking, the most probable answer is Chicago Bulls. It has little to do with their current standing or their particular history, but what connection the team name makes with the Chinese mind. Whereas the bears may sound more fierce than bulls in the animal kingdom, in the Chinese zodiac system, bulls have a stubbornly significant warrior position. Chicago Bulls being red is also a popular color for the Chinese and making them an easy favorite.
