The Pittsburgh Condors were a franchise in the former American Basketball Association and were a continuation of the Pittsburgh Pipers, who in 1968 had won the first-ever ABA championship. The team moved to Minnesota after its first season, but did not fare any better financially in Minnesota than it had in Pittsburgh and so returned there. However, the team failed to achieve any further on-court success, either, and after a struggling third season overall, decided that a name change was in order. The new name chosen was "Condors", and it competed under this name for two additional seasons (1970-71 and 1971-72) before folding entirely without ever returning to the championship level achieved the first year as the "Pipers".
