The Nojima Sagamihara Rise are an American football team located in Sagamihara City,Kanagawa,Japan. They are a member of the X-League.
Similar to fellow X-League member Elecom Kobe Finies's visual identity is inspired by the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys, the Nojima Sagamihara Rise's visual identity is inspired by the Denver Broncos, primarily in respect to its colors (navy blue and orange), logo (A charging horse with a flame-like mane) and uniforms (The Rise's home jersey is navy blue with orange accents - similar to the Broncos' 1997-2011 home jersey/2012-present alternate jersey), though the shade of orange which the Rise uses is closer to red.
