Hoops fans watching the conclusions of the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Finals over the weekend said they noticed an unfortunate coincidence.

LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant were all wearing the New Era-designed NBA Finals hats, but the logos of the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers obscure part of the letters NBA. The result: It looks like the hat is advertising the "2018 NRA Finals."

Keen viewers pointed out that the hat looked like an endorsement for the National Rifle Association.

"Somebody at the @NBA really dropped the ball with these hats," said Twitter user @Oh_TheHorror. "Does anyone else see 2018 NRA Finals? Decrease the font, and make sure it clearly says NBA, guys."

Several other Twitter users who were watching the Conference Finals noticed the unfortunate design on the Finals hats. @UnfollowAlbert just didn't like the design and said, "Those Finals hats are ugly as the Warriors' play the series."

"The hats look like they say, '2018 NRA Finals,'" replied @Ayejayrod.

Writer Juan Vidal tweeted a photo of Draymond Green wearing the hat during the Warriors' press conference following their victory over the Houston Rockets. "New Era butchered these 2018 NRA Finals hats," he wrote.

The design of the hat is even more unfortunate because several prominent NBA players and coaches have spoken out against the NRA or spoken in favor of gun control. For example, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr criticized the National Rifle Association in February.

"We can vote people in who actually have the courage to protect people's lives and not just bow down to the NRA because they've financed their campaign for them," Kerr said following the news of a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in which 17 people were killed.
