The Original Team

The Cleveland Force were one of the six charter franchises in the original MISL. The team played from 19781988 and was one of the better drawing teams in the league. The team folded in July 1988 when the team's owner could not get concessions from the MISLPA. The team played in the Richfield Collesium, the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and routinely drew crowds in the 20,000's in the late 80's. The team's name was inspired by the "Force" exploited by the Jedi in the Star Wars movies. The team theatrics originally included Darth Vader and Star Wars Music until the team faced litigation and had to change the "mascot" to a silver guy in an outfit that looked an awful lot like Darth Vader.
