“exclusively” and it’s just two teams

This is the trenchant analysis I come to this sub for.

The only crisis is that we can’t guarantee the home teams will wear white because it’s Silver’s stupid league

Special guest referee: Tony the Tiger

It will also be the Hartenstein and Dillon Jones bowl!

For some strange reason I also thought about this lol

bro go to sleep

I don’t want to see our black alternate in the Finals. Do the right thing Adam.

Both teams also play in [State] City

If you can’t tell the difference between the Thunder and Knicks jerseys you should see an eye doctor

Make the Thunder wear the Sonics jerseys. This is the way.

May the orange and bluest win

Imagine both wearing orange jerseys in Knicks homecourt lol

Oh man OKC needs to don the Kemp/Payton era Sonics jerseys, including the green/white/yellow, but “THUNDER” on the front…embrace the hate

Wow such useful information! Mods pin this to the top

As a fan of the Blue and orange color schemes. Knicks got the better shade of blue.

If 👀

What happened to the game I love

I don’t think Silver has anything to do with this; federal law prohibits two teams with the same uniform colors playing in the finals of any pro sports league. Surely you remember the brouhaha over the 2003 world Twerking championships?

big if true…

Either the blue and orange bowl or the NBA Cup rematch. I’m personally hoping that they all forfeit and the Bulls are named champs

Bro just give it up man

Cinematic

Adam Silver needs to step in and fix other more important problems in the NBA, not the Knicks and Thunder possibly having the same colors.

Complimentary colors too

Broncos/Bears 2027 Super Bowl confirmed

Just like hollywood color grading

Except their colors are not the same

Gulf Livery for the win

It won’t be a matchup of exclusively orange and blue teams, it will exclusively be a matchup of orange and blue teams.

The exclusivity is the teams, not the colors.

And OKC kind of looks more red to me… they call it Sunset Red

I thought about this last night. Can’t be worse than that Super Bowl where the Packers and Steelers wore yellow pants

Not just orange and blue…

The original Thunder uniform was very obviously a knock-off of the Knicks.

They aren’t the same colors? Knicks blue and Thunder blue are distinct (RBG codes are 0/107/182 vs 0/125/195), while the secondary color just looks totally different — the Thunder call it “sunset orange,” and is much redder than Knicks orange (RGB codes are 245/132/38 vs 239/59/36). 

They don’t have the exact same colors. They’re similar enough, as blue and orange can describe both, but it’s a pretty different shade of blue and the Thunder have yellow and navy as tertiary colors whereas the Knicks have black and silver. Your example of Bulls and Trailblazers is more egregious actually, their color schemes are more similar than Knicks/Thunder.

Hopefully he forces the Thunder to change. I love my boys but I have hated those colors since the day they arrived

I’m just glad there’s orange involved.

I feel like half the league has red/black/white or red/blue/white as their main colors.

As an okc and a florida Gator fan…. This is fine

I was just thinking about this last night. The Spurs need to win or there will be too much orange and blue lol

And would feature the most flops in Finals history between KAT, Brunson, and SGA.

Big if true

The league rigged it to get a matchup that would allow them to grow viewership amongst red-green colorblind people.

more than that, two teams whose logos are some letters, a basketball, and, for some reason, a triangle

I kinda hoped OKC vs Cleveland,

SGA vs Harden

Worst match up. Hope both teams lose.

This is some SAS level of journalism.

**when. The series is over. The Spurs are clearly a worse and less disciplined team and Wemby isn’t ready to win yet

only 1 blue and orange jersey matters and it’s not travesty of okc
