A World Series victory is always worth celebrating. However, back-to-back championships deserve something truly iconic. To honor their historic 2025 win, the Los Angeles Dodgers have teamed up with Fanatics, Complex, and Major League Baseball (MLB) for an extraordinary creative collaboration. This collaboration fuses art, fashion, and sport. The result is the “Los Angeles Dodgers x Takashi Murakami World Series Championship Collection”. It launches on November 7 across select global platforms.

A Cross-Cultural Collaboration That Redefines Celebration

The designs merge Murakami’s playful surrealism with classic baseball iconography. They create apparel suited for collectors, fans, and fashion enthusiasts. Each item feels like a wearable celebration bridging continents, communities, and cultures.

Murakami’s Message: From Fan to Collaborator

In a heartfelt statement, Takashi Murakami shared his excitement and personal connection to the collaboration:
