Amazing women's soccer team in Pasadena, CA.

Their deliciously orange jerseys are inspired by Tang the powdered fruit-flavored drink, originally formulated for space flight in 1959 — thus the name Tangsta. The team gets their "gangsta" from the musical stylings of Bell Biv Devoe and Coolio, and HBO's Boardwalk Empire.
Not only is Tangsta the number 1 team two seasons in a row, they have the coolest and most sportwomen-like temperaments in the entire Women's league!
