How I dodger-ed the logistics to snag a 2026 City Connect Jersey in France

Why I think the 2026 Dodgers City Connect Jersey is a wardrobe essential

I’ve spent the better part of early 2026 watching Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto turn the Los Angeles Dodgers into a global powerhouse. While I’m currently based in France, I couldn’t help but notice the absolute frenzy surrounding the 2026 City Connect jerseys. In places like South Korea, these authentic US-spec jerseys have become a massive status symbol, and I knew I had to bring that energy to the streets of Paris.

These jerseys aren't just sports gear; they are a piece of cultural history. The 2026 design specifically captures the grit and glamour of LA in a way that feels incredibly modern. However, getting one to Europe isn't as simple as walking into a local boutique. I had to get creative with how I approached my shopping to ensure I was getting the real deal directly from American retailers.

Where I went to shop US store favorites

My first instinct was to check local French retailers, but the selection for authentic MLB player-spec gear is often limited to basic caps. To get the official 2026 City Connect Jersey, I decided to shop us store sites like Fanatics and the official MLB Shop. These sites have the largest inventory, ensuring I could get my specific size before they sold out.

The hurdle I faced was that some US stores have high international shipping rates or simply don't ship certain authentic items directly to France. This is where I decided to use a tax-free us address provided by a freight forwarder. By sending my jersey to an Oregon-based warehouse first, I avoided US sales tax and gained more control over the final leg of the journey to my home.

Shipping estimates for France

I know many of you are curious about the logistics of getting a single jersey across the Atlantic. Based on my experience with the 2026 Dodgers gear, here is the breakdown of what you can expect for your package.

Box Weight and Dimensions

When I received my notification, the package was surprisingly light. A single jersey doesn't require much bulk.

Battery and Volumetric Checks

I didn't have to worry about shipping rules regarding electronics because jerseys are strictly fabric. Check our guide on prohibited items if you plan on adding accessories like LED-lit memorabilia. Also, because jerseys can be folded flat, I avoided any nasty surprises regarding volumetric weight. If you are adding a bulky item like a plush toy or a baseball helmet, I recommend you estimate shipping cost using a shipping calculator before you commit.

How it works when shipping from the US

I found that the process was quite straightforward once I had my US address set up. If you've never done this before, this step-by-step guide is a lifesaver for first-timers. Essentially, I bought the jersey using my comGateway address as the delivery point. Once it arrived at the warehouse, I was notified and could choose my preferred shipping speed to France.

I also spent some time in the FAQ section to see if I could consolidate my order. Since I also wanted a Yamamoto-themed cap, I waited for both items to arrive at the warehouse so I could ship them together, which saved me a significant amount on the base shipping fee. If you ever feel stuck, their support team or help center is usually very responsive to logistics queries.

My tips for France delivery

When you buy from US ship to France, you need to keep our local customs in mind. Since 2026, the import processes have become quite digitized. When my package entered the country, I was prepared for the VAT and potential administrative fees. Using a reliable service ensures that the paperwork is handled correctly, which speeds up the France delivery significantly.

My jersey arrived in just under a week once it left the US warehouse. Wearing it around town has already sparked a few conversations with fellow baseball fans who are shocked I managed to get the 2026 City Connect version so quickly. If you want to ship to France and avoid the headache of local stock shortages, this method is my go-to grand slam.
