Louisville Catbirds CBA Basketball 1983-1985 Kentucky T-shirt

Celebrate a unique piece of Kentucky basketball history with this Louisville Catbirds t-shirt from their Continental Basketball Association era. The Catbirds brought professional basketball to Louisville's Commonwealth Convention Center from 1983-1985, competing in what was then the NBA's official minor league. Despite fielding competitive teams and helping develop future NBA talent, the franchise relocated to La Crosse, Wisconsin after the 1985 season due to attendance challenges and the competitive Kentucky basketball market dominated by college programs.The distressed, weathered logo captures the spirit of this pioneering team and gives this shirt an authentic, vintage feel – as if it's been preserved since those competitive CBA seasons. Printed on premium Gildan 5000 heavyweight cotton, this shirt offers the perfect blend of comfort and durability. The classic unisex fit and preshrunk fabric ensure it'll remain a comfortable favorite wash after wash.Features:- Premium 5.3 oz, 100%
