The Dodgers recently collaborated with acclaimed artist Takashi Murakami for a special merchandise collection that sold out rapidly, generating $40 million during a pop-up event in Los Angeles. With Dodger gear decorated in Murakami's iconic floral designs, the items then appeared on the secondary market at quadrupled prices. As a response to the overwhelming demand, a new collection will launch on April 28, coinciding with Japanese Heritage Night. Murakami, having practiced diligently, is set to throw a ceremonial first pitch, showcasing his artistic and athletic aspirations.
A month ago Dodgers gear festooned with colorful flowers in the unmistakable designs of acclaimed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami sold out in minutes at a pop-up on Fairfax Ave.
Murakami, 63, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch as he did before an exhibition between the Dodgers and Yomiuri Giants at the Tokyo Dome on March 15.
