Instead of florals for spring, how about florals for spring training? With the recent revival of his Louis Vuitton collaboration, Takashi Murakami is set to introduce his whimsical blossoms to the baseball field, as a prelude to the 2025 Major League Baseball Tokyo Series.
Starting March 7 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time/12 p.m. Eastern Time, a collaboration between artist Takashi Murakami and Major League Baseball will be unveiled on Fanatics.com, MLB.com, and Complex.com. This partnership showcases the whimsical cherry blossoms, cheerful flowers, and delightful characters from Murakami’s artwork adorning merchandise and accessories for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs. The price range varies from $40 for clear tote bags suitable for stadium use, $55 for New Era 49Fifty hats, up to $250 for Nike jerseys, and as high as $400 for Victus bats. Additionally, you’ll find hoodies, T-shirts, Rawlings baseballs and gloves, and an exclusive set of Topps trading cards on Complex.com priced at $120.

In my gaming world, I’d be tasked with crafting the perfect gear for a dream team of athletes. As a gamer, I’m imagining myself decking out Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman from LA, alongside stars like Shota Imanaga, Seiya Suzuki, and Dansby Swanson hailing from New York. You never know who might be seen sporting these stylish picks – celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Taika Waititi, and Rita Ora (spotted in the stands at Dodger Stadium during the 2024 World Series), or Illinois natives such as Hillary Clinton, Nick Offerman, Bill Murray, and Eddie Vedder (all known for their love of the Cubs).
Murakami plans to expand his quirky shoe brand, Ohana Hatake, by launching the plush Surippa Ohana slides featuring the emblems of both the Dodgers and Cubs teams.
Murakami expresses his belief that this fresh collection symbolizes the longstanding bond between Japan and the United States. He feels privileged to collaborate with Complex, MLB, and showcase Shohei Ohtani, a remarkable athlete who has risen from Japan to international acclaim. This project fills him with immense gratitude to be involved in it.
The team merchandise can additionally be purchased at Dodger Stadium, Wrigley Field, and their respective clubhouses; it will also be sold at the main MLB location in New York City; and during the MLB series matches held in Japan.
If you’d rather buy your Takashi Murakami x MLB merchandise in a physical store, here are the locations and dates:
– In Los Angeles, visit Complex LA (433 N Fairfax Ave.) from March 7 to 9.
– In Tokyo, go to Chome-20-6 Jingumae, Shibuya, from March 8 to 21.
Please note that you can only purchase a maximum of three items at each location, and reservations are mandatory for the Tokyo store.
2025 MLB Tokyo Series: Schedule, How to Watch, Best Ticket Deals Online
As a die-hard baseball fan, I’m thrilled about the MLB Tokyo Series happening at the Tokyo Dome from March 15th to 19th. I can catch the action live in the US on Fox and FS1. For those like me who’ve cut the cord, don’t worry! You can stream these games on various streaming services that carry these networks, such as DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling. Just remember to adjust your schedule due to the 14- to 17-hour time difference between the US and Japan.
Fresh subscribers have the opportunity to enjoy live games without charge by utilizing a three-day trial for Hulu + Live TV, a five-day trial for DirectTV Stream, or a week-long trial for Fubo.
Hey there fellow gamers! If you haven’t snagged your tickets yet for the MLB Tokyo Series, fear not! You can still grab ’em online at Stubhub, Gametime, Viagogo, and other third-party resale platforms. Here’s when the games are going down (all times local):
