History
Niigata 11 had been a local autonomous amateur club for many years prior to becoming a part of the old Japan Soccer League. In that league, which was virtually completely comprised of corporation teams, Niigata 11 had no chance of ever seeing the light of day.
The establishment of the J. League served as a catalyst for the club’s ascent, and beginning in the 1990s, it began its rapid ascent up the divisions. Albirex Niigata entered the Japan Football League in 1998, and when the J2 league was established the following year in 1999, they were absorbed into it.
The club continuously improved its level of play until, in 2001 and 2002, it came perilously near to being promoted to J1; the following year, it won the J2 championship and was finally allowed to play in the top division.
The name of the squad comes from the conjunction of two elements: the star Albireo, which is part of the constellation Cygnus (the Swan), and the Latin word Rex, which translates to “king.” The original name of the team, Albireo Niigata, was changed to its current name, Albirex Niigata, in 1997 so that copyright difficulties could be resolved.
In 2007, a new color was chosen for the uniform. The color scheme of the uniform was orange, blue, and orange up to the year 2006, when it was changed to orange, orange, and orange instead. Since 1996, when the team first began competing at a professional level, this coordinate has not been used.
The accomplishments of Albirex Niigata had a significant effect on all aspects of the sporting landscape in Japan, including the professional baseball scene. It was shown that people in local cities without the population of the metropolitan area in the past were more enthused than expected for sports, and the feelings of local citizens affected many other sports in the region.
