Following the Dodgers’ incredible World Series victory on Wednesday night, Los Angeles celebrated in true style by lighting up the “D” in the iconic Hollywood sign in blue. This rare tribute to our Boys in Blue marks a hard-won championship, as the Hollywood sign is famously preserved in its classic form — with alterations being almost unheard of. Given its status as a historical landmark, this display holds an even greater significance and respect.
This tribute was first announced by Nike LA — a sponsor of the MLB — on Instagram, with the post reading, “The greatest story these hills ever seen was always about winning.”
While it’s unusual for the Hollywood sign to be altered, it’s not the first time it has been modified for a special occasion. The sign was previously transformed to celebrate the Los Angeles Rams after their Super Bowl victory in 2022, really showcasing our city’s pride and spirit for its sports teams. This latest tribute to the Dodgers underscores just how beloved they are to our city and culture.
