Takashi Murakami is doing his part to celebrate the champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

To commemorate the team’s second consecutive World Series title, Major League Baseball, Fanatics and Complex have worked with the artist to create a special Los Angeles Dodgers x Takashi Murakami World Series Championship collection.

The popular Japanese contemporary artist created a collection of apparel and collectibles for MLB’s Tokyo Series this spring that sold out in minutes. That collection commemorated the games between the Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs that were played in the Tokyo Dome in March and was sold at the stadium as well as on the Fanatics, MLB and Complex websites. It was also sold at popular pop-ups in Tokyo and L.A.

The group followed up with a special first pitch and capsule collection at the Dodgers Japanese Heritage Night at its stadium in April, also designed with Murakami.

The new World Series-themed collection will include T-shirts and hoodies that feature the 2025 World Series Champions emblem along with Murakami’s signature multicolored smiling flowers and the word Dodgers in Japanese Katakana characters.

“To all the Los Angeles Dodgers players, staff, associates and everyone in Los Angeles: Congratulations on winning the World Series,” Murakami said. “Game seven was an unforgettable experience, I’m sure even for those watching baseball for the very first time. 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.”

He added that “it has been such an honor to be able to collaborate with the team, together with Complex and Fanatics, throughout this championship MLB season. I’m deeply grateful for this connection. And once again, congratulations. The number three is even greater than two. Let’s make that happen in 2026.” 

The World Series collection will go on sale Friday on Complex, Fanatics, MLBShop in both the U.S. and Japan, the Dodger Stadium Team Store and the MLB flagship in New York City.
