What is the KAWS x MLB Collab?
The collaboration pairs artist KAWS (Brian Donnelly) with Major League Baseball, Fanatics, and Complex to produce a limited apparel and lifestyle collection centered on two of the sport’s biggest rivalries: the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. The line reimagines each team’s classic branding through KAWS’ recognizable crossed-eye “XX” graphic language, extending his streetwear and art-world crossover work into sports merchandise.

Release Date and Where to Buy
The collection is set for a global online release on July 20, 2026, coinciding with the Dodgers-Yankees series. Items will be available through Fanatics’ official platforms, with select pieces also featured via Complex’s retail channels. As with most KAWS collaborations, expect limited quantities and the possibility of items selling out quickly after launch.
Lineup and Pricing
Apparel
The centerpiece of the collection is a set of KAWS-designed jerseys for both the Dodgers and Yankees, priced at $275 each. The jerseys feature full front-and-back graphic treatments rather than subtle branding, making them statement pieces built around the collaboration’s artwork.
Baseball Gear and Trading Cards
Beyond jerseys, the collection reportedly extends to additional lifestyle apparel and collectible items carrying the KAWS x MLB branding, positioning it as a multi-category drop rather than a single product.

Design Details: XX Motif and COMPANION
KAWS’ work is defined by two recurring symbols: the crossed-eye “XX” motif and the COMPANION figure. In this collection, the XX graphic is reworked into each team’s identity — for the Yankees jersey, crossed bats double as a stylized NY mark, while the Dodgers design integrates the motif with the team’s LA branding. It’s a distinctly KAWS approach to team merchandise: recognizable team colors and logos filtered through his signature visual language rather than simply printed with his name.

Background: The Dodgers vs. Yankees Series
The collaboration’s timing lines up with a marquee Dodgers-Yankees series, two franchises with one of MLB’s most storied rivalries and a combined roster of some of the league’s biggest stars. Pairing a high-profile artist collab with this matchup follows a growing trend of MLB partnering with streetwear and art figures around marquee games, similar to prior crossover nights the league has run with other pop-culture brands.
