In the world of sports, there are very few rivalries that match the history that Boston and Los Angeles share. That’s especially true when a title is on the line.

Now, we get the pleasure of watching these two sports powers go head-to-head as the World Series begins with Game 1 on Tuesday night. Surprisingly, this will be the first time the Dodgers and Red Sox have played against each other in the World Series since 1916. But that doesn’t mean the rivalry is any less intense. As Slim from The Wire says, “The game’s the same. Just got more fierce.”

However, before the Fall Classic gets underway, there’s a question you need to ask yourself; is my apparel game ready for what could be an incredible World Series?

If not, that’s OK. It’s not too late. We’ve got both Red Sox and Dodgers fans covered with ways to rep your respective teams during the World Series.

For Red Sox fans

The Boston vs. LA rivalry dates back to the Bill Russell and Jerry West days of going head-to-head in the NBA Finals. Although the field of play has changed for the re-up of this longtime city rivalry, the motto remains the same in Boston.

For Dodgers fans

With the season on the line and just a one-run lead during Game 7 in Milwaukee, Yasiel Puig stepped up to the plate and crushed a three-run homer off Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress. Puig punched the Dodgers’ ticket back to the World Series with the home run, and celebrated by rounding the bases. “Puig Your Hero.”
