Chicago Bulls In the 1980s and 1990s, Michael Jordan made the Bulls the most famous American basketball team in the world. One hundred years before Jordan's time, Chicago was the center of American meat processing industry. Cattle from all over the central United States were loaded on trains and transported to Chicago, where large meat processing plants were slaughtered (for a critical understanding of this period in Chicago's history, please refer to the exposure novel Slaughterhouse written by upton sinclair). Although most meat processing plants have been withdrawn from Chicago now, the name "Bull" still reminds people of that period of history.

Dallas Mavericks The name Dallas (located in Texas) also reflects the history of Texas cowboys. Maverick refers to a rebel who refuses to abide by social norms. The word comes from the surname of a man named Samuel Maverick. He is a rancher in Texas and refuses to brand his cattle according to the general rules. (China's translation of the Dallas team's name into Mavericks is against his original intention, and it is more accurate to translate it into Mavericks, although Mavericks can also represent an unbranded calf. )

The emblem of Dallas is a horse's head, not a cow.
