Minnesota Fillies T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Minnesota Fillies, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, played all three seasons of the Women's Professional Basketball League, from 1978 to 1981. Only three franchises lasted that long. Home games moved from the Met Center to Williams Arena and the Minneapolis Auditorium.

They went 17-17 in the first year and 22-12 in the second, beating New Orleans in the quarterfinals before losing to Iowa in the semifinals. The third season went 7-28 as the league ran short of money and pay went missing. Before a game in Chicago against the Hustle, the Fillies walked off the court over unpaid wages and finished the year with replacement players. The league folded in 1981.
