The 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers will meet tonight for Game 1. Thanks to Lockervision, we know what the uniform matchups for the Pacers and Thunder will be. We already knew the Pacers would be wearing their gold uniforms for as long as they remained in the playoffs, thanks to the NBA directing playoff teams to wear their “Core” uniforms (Icon, Association or Statement) beginning with the Conference Finals.

Good Thursday morning, Uni Watch. I hope everyone had a serendipitous Wednesday. I’m joined again today by Anthony “Ant” Giaccone. Several years ago, Ant was a contributor to my weekend articles, and recently returned with what was then his latest project: Baseball Cards. (For previous editions of the “Art of Ant,” check out Volume I. Volume II, Volume III, Volume IV, and Volume V.) Those articles provide a good back story of Anthony’s vision and techniques.

Professional softball has a new league — The Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) — which was founded in 2024. On June 4, 2024, Athletes Unlimited announced a new softball league with four teams and a 30-game season, which will complement the existing Pro Softball Championship, with ESPN will be a founding broadcast partner. MLB announced an investment in the AUSL. Like several recent start-up leagues, the AUSL will be a touring league in 2025, playing in six to eight cities.

A little while back, I began running a series in which reader Brad Bierman, who has collected, mounted and framed every (or almost every) patch worn by every Major League franchise, has been periodically showing them off. (Click here to see the Athletics, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, and New York Mets. Also multiple-team patches for MLB and the NFL). Brad returns today with a look at the patch history of the Baltimore Orioles.
