Like Bert and Ernie or Tom and Cher, unlikely pairings tend to raise more than a few eyebrows, especially on this day of official tomfoolery. True blue fans of Hello Kitty and the Dodgers, rest assured that this next news is no trickery: the sweet Sanrio feline and the City of Angels' diamond darlings are indeed teaming up for a range of baseball merch, and we have the exclusive first look at the too-cute memorabilia.

Priced from $11.99 to $59.99, the line of Hello Kitty and Dodgers souvenirs is comprised of hats, pin sets, pillow cushions and more as part of Sanrio's Major League Baseball collab (yes, the SF Giants and San Diego Padres get their own gear, too). In addition to being sold at the in-stadium store, the merch will also be available online at the MLB's e-shop and select mass retailers and sporting good stores.

Given that the last collab was a total home run, you might want to snap up tickets to the Dodgers' games on Tuesday, June 3rd and Thursday, July 10th, when special edition Hello Kitty gifts (a mini bobble head and a travel mug, respectively), will be handed out at the door.
