La Crosse Catbirds Crewneck Sweatshirt

The La Crosse Catbirds, based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, played in the Continental Basketball Association from 1985 to 1994. The franchise began as the Louisville Catbirds, and its name combined the Kentucky "Cats" and Louisville "Birds" to appeal to two fan bases. It moved to La Crosse in 1985 after weak crowds in Louisville.

Coached by Flip Saunders, who later coached in the big leagues, the Catbirds won CBA titles in 1990 and 1992, both over Rapid City. They went 292-192 in the regular season at La Crosse Center and led the league in attendance in their first five years there. The team left for Pittsburgh after the 1993-94 season.
