Okay, so I heard about this Victoria’s Secret PINK doing a collection with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Being a Dodgers fan, naturally, my ears perked up. Thought it might be cool, maybe something different from the usual fan gear you get at the stadium or sports shops.
First Steps
First thing I did was check online. Went to the PINK website, typed in “Dodgers”. Sure enough, a bunch of stuff popped up. Hoodies, tees, some sweatpants I think. Looked okay in the pictures, you know, the usual PINK style but with Dodgers logos and colors slapped on.
I wasn’t totally sold just looking online. Sometimes things look different in person, right? Quality, fit, the actual colors. So, I figured I’d try to see it myself. I remembered there’s a Victoria’s Secret / PINK store at the mall nearby, so I planned to swing by next time I was out.
The Store Visit
A few days later, I went to the mall. Found the PINK section inside Victoria’s Secret. Had to look around a bit, it wasn’t like a huge display right at the front. Tucked away near the back usually, mixed in with their regular college team stuff.
They had a small rack dedicated to the MLB stuff, and the Dodgers gear was there. Let’s see, what did they have?
- T-Shirts: A couple of basic blue and grey ones with Dodgers script.
- Hoodies: Think I saw a blue pullover hoodie.
- Sweatpants: Matching blue ones, maybe?
Honestly, it looked pretty much like the pictures online. The material felt like typical PINK clothing – soft, kind of standard quality for that type of leisure wear. Not super thick, not too thin.
My Decision
I picked up a t-shirt to get a closer look. Examined the logo, the stitching. It was fine, nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Just a regular t-shirt with Dodgers branding from PINK. I thought about getting one, but then I considered the price. It seemed a bit higher than what I’d normally pay for a simple tee like that, even with the team logo.
I already have a bunch of Dodgers shirts and hats. I weighed it up for a minute there in the store. Did I really need another one, just because it had the PINK label too? Decided against it in the end. It didn’t feel special enough to justify the price tag for me personally. If they had something really unique, maybe a different design or style I hadn’t seen before, I might have gone for it.
Final Thoughts
So, I walked out empty-handed. It wasn’t a bad experience or anything, the stuff was there, looked decent enough. Just wasn’t compelling enough for me to buy. Glad I checked it out in person though, confirmed what I saw online. For someone who really loves both PINK and the Dodgers, I guess it could be a cool pickup. For me, just being a Dodgers fan, my regular gear felt like a better deal.
