They logged zero wins in 1975, went a respectable 10-8-3 in 1976, then unraveled when ASL commissioner Bob Cousy — yes, Hall of Fame Celtics point guard Bob Cousy — awarded their playoff spot to Cleveland despite Chicago holding the tiebreakers. Panos sued for $1 million. The league terminated the franchise that October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from lightweight, breathable knit mesh with embroidered tackle twill lettering, this jersey honors the 1976 Chicago Cats — who missed the playoffs but made it into the history books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebbets Field","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":46808091754685,"sku":"23172658","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":46808091787453,"sku":"23172658","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":46808091820221,"sku":"23172658","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":46808091852989,"sku":"23172658","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":46808091885757,"sku":"23172658","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":46808091918525,"sku":"23172658","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/1618\/files\/20260519_EBBETS_SOCCER112844.jpg?v=1779806557","url":"https:\/\/www.ebbets.com\/products\/chicago-cats-soccer-jersey-blue","provider":"Ebbets Field","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
