The
Cleveland Rockers are a
WNBA Basketball team. The Rockers were one of the original eight franchises that started in
1997.
White with water blue lines over the shoulders at home, and Black with water blue lines over the shoulders on the road, with a basketball-shaped guitar and the name Rockers.
The Rockers, who got their nickname to honor
Cleveland's
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have had little success historically. In
1997, they started with such players like
Isabelle Fijalwoski[?] and former
Harlem Globetrotters member
Lynette Woodard[?], who had been the first female player in Globetrotter history. The Rockers missed the playoffs in 1997, made them in
1998 but lost to the
Phoenix Mercury in the Eastern conference finals, and have not made the playoffs ever since.
