Lancaster Lightning T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Lancaster Lightning, based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, played in the Continental Basketball Association from 1981 to 1985. They were coached by Cazzie Russell, a former big-league All-Star, and played home games in small high school and college gyms that held about 3,000 fans.

In 1981-82 the Lightning went 34-12, the best record in the league, and beat the Billings Volcanos four games to one for the CBA title. Seymour Kilstein owned the team, and guard Steve Craig was among its notable players. After a 107-104 loss at Tampa Bay on March 15, 1985, its last Lancaster game, the team moved to Baltimore for a season and then to Rockford, Illinois, where the franchise played until 2006.
