Mascot
The Águia (Eagle) became the official mascot of São José in 1978, two years after São José changed their team colors. "Azulão do Vale" (Big Blue of the Valley) was the team's nickname before that, but they changed it to "Águia do Vale" when Águia became the team's mascot. The reason they chose Águia is because eagles are really driven animals and will fight to the end even against the odds.Rivalry
