While this marks the Warriors fifth straight chance at a title, it will be either the Raptors’ first appearance ever or the Bucks’ first since 1974. As for hockey, the Bruins will be making their first championship appearance since the 2012-13 season, while the Blues will be making their first ever appearance. That all said, it’s time for us to give our expert opinion on these matchups the only way we know how: by uniforms and colors!
NBA - Warriors vs. ?
Since Golden State reverted back to their familiar blue-and-yellow color scheme after many years of wearing a weird blend of navy blue, orange and yellow, they’ve been a uniform darling of the league. Royal blue and standard yellow are an underappreciated pairing, and it’s great to see a great team rocking those colors on the court. Their uniform logo is a bit on the large side, but it’s uniquely styled so we give them a pass.

The Raptors have also toyed with their uniforms and color schemes since coming into the league at the height of 1990s fashion, sporting bright purple as their main color. They’ve since dropped purple entirely for a blend of black, red, white and gold, and their uniforms look pretty slick even if they are a bit uninspired.
Our Prediction - The redesign of the Bucks looks clean with just enough unique elements to elevate them above the competition. They might not win on the court, but they’re our pick for NBA champions based on their uniforms.
NHL - Bruins vs. Blues
You have to appreciate teams that don’t mess with a good thing. While other black-and-yellow hockey teams flirted with shiny gold for a few years, the Bruins have always stuck to their traditional look since serving as one of the founding members of the NHL (even if they had brown for a few years in the 1920s and 30s).

Our Prediction - Tradition trumps all in this one. It’s a bit of a toss-up how the games will turn out on the ice, but we like the Bruins to take the win based on those classic uniforms.
