If you give up, it’ll be too late to do anything about it.
Let me introduce a slogan that’ll make you chuckle yet somehow warm your heart: “If you give up, it’ll be a case of too little, too late.” It’s a playful twist on the famous line from the basketball manga SLAM DUNK, “If you give up, the game is over.” It carries the nuance of encouraging you to stick with it to the end—or to enjoy it all the way through.
What’s amusing is that “ato no matsuri” (literally “festival after the fact”) is originally used in a different context, which adds to the cleverness.
We are the strongest.
By putting into words that we are the strong, we start to feel like true champions—and our actual power grows, too.
This is a straightforward slogan that declares we are absolute elites.
It takes inspiration from the song title of Uta, a character who appears in the blockbuster film ONE PIECE FILM RED, so designing it in a way that hints at the original reference could be fun.
It’s a phrase that not only lends you strength through the words themselves, but also conveys power through the work and the song’s content.

You are the hero of XX!
While teamwork is important at a sports day, the emergence of standout heroes is also a key factor in building excitement.
This slogan conveys a powerful hope that anyone can become a hero, while anticipating the arrival of such heroes.
Imagining what kind of hero they might be—a hero who represents the school, or one who symbolizes the team—adds to the fun.
We also recommend a version that shifts the focus from a single hero to the idea that everyone can be a different kind of hero.
History moves today.
At events, unexpected things sometimes happen, and they can influence the outcome or amp up the excitement.
This slogan conveys the idea of staying sharp and giving it our all to the very end, while hoping for those big, electrifying moments.
Whether someone makes a breakthrough performance or an unexpected problem arises, just imagining what might change history can energize the event.
By raising this slogan, it might even inspire some people to resolve to perform so well that they can truly say they changed history.
You are the perfect and ultimate fighter.
The belief that we can deliver results is precisely what leads to performing at a higher level, isn’t it? This slogan expresses the idea that we already possess strong abilities—something that can help boost our confidence.
Inspired by the lyrics of YOASOBI’s song “Idol,” phrases like “perfect” and “ultimate” solidly elevate that self-assurance.
The fact that it’s about being a fighter rather than an idol is also key, clearly conveying passion for the competition.
It’s okay—Class XX is the strongest.
Believing firmly in the efforts we’ve built up so far leads to performing at our best and reaching our goals.
This slogan invites us to look back on our accumulated hard work and renew our resolve.
It’s inspired by a line from Satoru Gojo, a character in Jujutsu Kaisen, and the light, effortless delivery of the line conveys strong confidence.
Rather than representing an individual, if you insert a school or team name, it can also express the bonds within your group.
A Burst of Passion!
To achieve big results, I believe it’s important to tackle challenges with real determination and to push forward together.
This is a slogan that expresses that momentary burst of spirit and the mindset of throwing yourself into a challenge with a burning heart, inspired by the phrase used in the “Lipovitan D” commercials.
The key is that quoting it evokes the imagery of the commercial, conveying in a short phrase the idea of joining forces to overcome difficulties.
And by adding a slight twist to the original phrase, it clearly expresses what we value as we take on our sport.
