The LA Dodgers are Japan’s MLB team thanks in major part to the team’s Japanese superstars Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki. But it’s also because LA is home to the second-largest Japanese population in the US, creating a perfectly welcoming environment for the World Series-winning global stars. After celebrating the Dodgers’ Japanese ties at a Japanese Heritage night at Dodger Stadium earlier this year, famed artist Takashi Murakami is back with the blue and white for a capsule collection to celebrate the team’s back-to-back World Series wins.

The Takashi Murakami x Fanatics Los Angeles Dodgers World Series collection features two t-shirts and a hooded sweatshirt, all featuring the official MLB 2025 World Champions graphic surrounded by Murakami’s classic smiling flower graphics and, on the sleeve of the hoodie, “DODGERS” in Japanese Katakana characters. The t-shirts, with the World Series graphic on the right breast, an interlocked LA logo surrounded by smiling flowers on the left side, and a smiling flower Dodgers graphic on the back, come in white and blue colorways, while the hoodie featuring the same graphic is only available in blue.

“Game 7 was an unforgettable experience, I’m sure even for those watching baseball for the very first time,” said Takashi Murakami. “It was a thrilling, nerve-racking, and deeply moving moment that truly captured the beauty of the sport. I was in front of my TV, shouting at the top of my lungs in excitement. And yes, I cried!”

The Takashi Murakami x Fanatics Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Collection will be released November 7, 2025 through Fanatics, MLBShop, and Complex Shop. Available in unisex sizing, the retail prices are still TBD. For all the latest exclusive collab news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
