From the publisher:
We will publish a special book "THE DESIGN STORY OF J.LEAGUE" to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the J.League. This book is a book that interprets the J League, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, from the context of design. We delve into themes related to the J.League, such as logos, emblems, uniforms, mascots, merchandise, and advertising, through valuable archive materials and interviews with people involved in the J.League from its early days to the present. By looking at the J League and clubs from a different angle than usual, you may discover something new. This book can be enjoyed not only by J.League soccer fans, but also as a design book and a 90's culture book. Please feel the charm of the J League through this book.
