Description: The Los Angeles Lazers were an indoor soccer team that played in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) from 1982 to 1989.

It became a pre-game ritual for every Lazers game to have a laser show displayed on the walls of the Forum.

Description: The Pittsburgh Phantoms, more formally known as The Pittsburgh Phantoms Professional Soccer Club, were once part of the NPSL (National Professional Soccer League), the league that became the world famous NASL (North American Soccer League)! Almost unbelievably, the Phantoms played their home games in their only season of 1967 at Forbes Field. Their fantastic logo was decades ahead of its time, and though it took us more than two decades, we eventually found conclusive evidence that the Phantoms' team colors were purple and white rather than black and white! Remember Pittsburgh's first professional soccer franchise!

Description: Remember the Pittsburgh Miners™ soccer club from the 1970s? Well, you're probably not alone! It took us more than 20 years to find conclusive evidence that their team colors were red and blue. Here's one vision of what a Miners soccer jersey might look like today! Why #1? In honor of that one lone victory in the Miners' ASL history! Appropriately though, vs. Cincinnati! Pittsburgh Miners™ is a trademark of Pittsburgh Hall of Fame and Sports Museum, LLC.

Description: The Wichita Wings were a professional indoor soccer franchise based in Wichita, Kansas. The Wings were admitted to the Major Indoor Soccer League as an expansion team on August 21, 1979.

At the time the Wings folded, after the 2000–2001 season, they were the oldest professional soccer franchise in the United States. Despite having some of the best records in US indoor soccer, the Wings never won a league championship or reached the league finals.
