Louisville Catbirds T-Shirt (Heavyweight)

The Louisville Catbirds, based in Louisville, Kentucky, played in the Continental Basketball Association from 1983 to 1985. The name combined the Kentucky "Cats" and the Louisville "Birds" to appeal to fans of both schools. They opened on December 1, 1983, with a 122-118 win over Toronto.

The roster included Dirk Minniefield, a Kentucky guard who reached the big leagues in 1985, and Tom Payne, the first Black player on Adolph Rupp's Kentucky team. The Catbirds played at Louisville Gardens, then moved to Broadbent Arena, where attendance fell by more than half. The team was sold in 1985 and moved to La Crosse, Wisconsin.
