How did fans react to the Takashi Murakami x MLB Tokyo Series collection?

There are mixed reactions from netizens. While some want to cop both the T-shirts DodgersBeat posted, there are others who think the designs on the collection are not too sure.

Have a look at these comments below:

One baseball fan noted the unis*x quality of the collection.

"Yeah. My wife and I need these badly. Wow," @Greenbaumly commented.

Another user noted how the Japanese influences on fashion are great.

"People gonna learn Japanese fashion is amazing," @andrewponce33 said.

One netizen talked of why picking up colors of both teams could be a challenge.

"For those wanting to get both, they're only selling in their respective cities. Chicago's jersey won't be in L.A. and vice versa. Kudos to those that can get both 😂," @leonard57004767 noted.

A baseball fan who isn't exactly a supporter of either the Dodgers or the Cubs still had praise for the design of the shirts.

"I wish I didn't completely despise both teams these are fire" - @RCDinoMaster expressed.

Another netizen commented,

"Nice for a chick but only dudes with sugar in their tank would rock this lol" - @The_Trgtguy stated.

A Cody Bellinger fan commented,

"f**k if belli didn’t leave the cubs i would’ve gotten his" - @BSVernage said.
