Chicago Hustle T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Chicago Hustle, based in Chicago, Illinois, were an original member of the Women's Professional Basketball League, which ran from 1978 to 1981. Coached by Doug Bruno, they played at DePaul's Alumni Hall and opened with a 92-87 win at Milwaukee on December 9, 1978.

The Hustle went 21-13 in their first season, won the Midwest Division and lost in the playoff semifinals. Guard Rita Easterling won league MVP honors. The team never won a title. It drew good crowds by league standards, but the league folded after the 1980-81 season, and the Hustle ended with it. Their last game was an 81-61 loss at Nebraska on April 5, 1981.
