The Chicago Bliss is one of four teams that were introduced in 2004 for the inaugural
Lingerie Bowl along with the
Dallas Desire,
Los Angeles Temptation, and
New York Euphoria. The Bliss were defeated by
New York Euphoria in the 2005 Eastern Final (where one of the Semi-Finals included a Skill Test, a 3-on-2 match, and a dance competition) at Lingerie Bowl II and then were defeated again by New York in the 2006 Eastern Final at Lingerie Bowl III. Lingerie Bowls IV, V, and VI were then all cancelled for various reasons. In 2009, the
Lingerie Football League (LFL) was launched with multiple games in a season instead of just an annual event. On September 4, 2009, the Chicago Bliss defeated the
Miami Caliente 29–19 in the first ever game of the LFL at
Sears Centre Arena in
Hoffman Estates, Illinois. In 2009 the coaching staff consisted of Bliss Head Coach Keith Hac, coach of the
Indoor Football League's
Chicago Slaughter.; Offensive Coordinator Rasche Hill, a former member of the
National Football League Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Slaughter; and Defensive Coordinator
DeJuan Alfonzo, a former member of the
Chicago Rush and
Chicago Slaughter. The Bliss defeated the Miami Caliente 20–7 to win the Eastern Conference title but fell 27–14 to the
Los Angeles Temptation in Lingerie Bowl VII.
Professional wrestler Danielle Moinet also played with Chicago Bliss from 2008 through 2011, where she was cornerback and team captain. Keith Hac coached Chicago for nine seasons with a 29–6–1 regular season record. Under Hac, Chicago qualified for the playoffs eight times, reached the Legends Cup six times (2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018), and won the championship four times (2013, 2014, 2016, and 2018). His overall record was 40–10–1 making him the winningest coach in the league's history and the only coach (as of 2022) to win 40 games. Sidney Lewis became head coach in 2019 and in two seasons has gone 2–4 in the regular season, qualifying for the playoffs in 2022. In 2013, the Lingerie Football league was rebranded as the Legends Football League and shifted to a summer and fall season schedule. On September 1, 2013, the Bliss then won their first championship, now called the
Legends Cup, over the
Philadelphia Passion. They would repeat as champions the next year, appear in four consecutive championships including a third title, and win a fourth title in 2018. The Bliss had since used both Sears Centre Arena and
Toyota Park in
Bridgeview, Illinois, in various seasons as their home venue. ==Seasons==
