“Flow Jacket” Dominican Republic from the 2026 World Baseball Classic at Auction
The iconic “flow jacket”, a symbol of the Dominican Republic team’s celebrations during the 2026 World Baseball Classic, has been put up for auction by Major League Baseball (MLB). The garment, which quickly went viral, represents a memorable milestone of the tournament. In the first hours of the auction, the item has generated great interest among fans and collectors, reaching a bid of $5,510 after receiving 74 offers. The jacket, authenticated by its use in the March 15th semi-final against the United States, became an emblem of the Dominican team. A key moment was Junior Caminero’s home run against Nicaragua, which unleashed euphoria in the stadium. Upon crossing the plate, the young star was greeted with the emblematic jacket by figures like Manny Machado, Julio Rodríguez, and Oneil Cruz. The initiative was inspired by trends in Major League Baseball, such as the celebration jacket of the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 postseason. The Dominican team took the idea to another level, incorporating cultural elements such as a weight decorated with bananas and a chain, highlighting national identity.More than a simple garment, the “flow jacket” became a symbol of unity, culture, and energy for the Dominican team, leaving an indelible mark on the tournament. Now, the piece seeks to continue making history off the field.“Create an environment of integration, where players have fun and don’t feel the game is so rigid”.
Gregory Castro, social media manager of the team
