[1] between September and November 1992. The first full J.League season would take place the following year, and has been an annual event ever since.
During the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, the team continued to play in its blue-and-white stripes Higashi Nihon JR Furukawa colours, with the teams' now iconic yellow and green kit debuting in 1993. Sega sponsored the team until the end of the 1996 season, with JEF United finishing in the middle of the league table each year.
While Sega has not partnered with JEF United since, Sammy would sponsor the team in the 2005 season, after its merger with Sega to form Sega-Sammy Holdings.
