PBR (Professional Bull Riders) playing cards

This pack was published in 2005 by Rix Products LLC as an official licensed product of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders), based in Pueblo, Colorado.

The aces are ornate, with the PBR logo centred against the suit represented, while the jacks show the name of a “famous” bull (e.g. Coyote, Blackjack, Little Yellow Jacket, Sling Blade) and the kings depict some champion riders (Mike Lee, Adriano Moraes, Justin McBride). The pip cards are standard and the 2 jokers are rodeo clowns. The cards are contained in a metal tin rather than the usual tuck box. See the tin►

For information from the website: PBR was founded in 1992 by a group of 20 visionary bull riders who broke away from the traditional rodeo scene in the belief bull riding could succeed as a standalone sport. PBR has since transformed into one of the fastest-growing sports in America and further afield. More than 500 bull riders from the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico hold PBR memberships and compete in more than 200 bull riding events each year on televised programmes in each of these countries. The PBR World Finals is the richest bull riding event on the planet, with the season champion receiving the golden World Championship buckle and $1 million bonus.
