Saitama Seibu Lions 's team slogan for the 2026 season has been decided as "Daha" (break through).

Based on manager Nishiguchi Fumiya's strong belief that "improving our batting ability is essential as we continue to play defensive baseball to win," the goal is to encourage fielder to do their best and to have each player and staff member break out of their shells and surpass their current status quo.

In conjunction with this, The Lions Store Online will begin accepting pre-orders for 2026 slogan merchandise from 11:00 a.m. today. In addition to standard items such as T-shirts, the store also stocks warm merchandise such as hoodies and blankets, perfect for the chilly start of the season.

▼Comment from Director Nishiguchi Fumiya▼
"Our team slogan for the 2026 season, 'Breakthrough,' is our desire for each player to further improve their individual abilities and overcome their own limitations, after having played a defensive style of baseball until last year. I would like fielder in particular to work hard to improve their batting ability, and while we continue to play a defensive style baseball, I would like us to play as many games as possible where we can win through batting. With this team slogan in mind, I would like to work hard with the players as we look ahead to spring training and the new season."
