I think this page proves this to be the case.

No, I realise that, but even so from that page, it looks like they want to get into the J-League in the near future.

As for the team name, the "best" translation follows:

Quote:

Origin of club name
It is the coined word which adjusts Dutch VAREN (fur ream) where the V of V・[huaren] takes the initial of VREDE (braider) which means peace with VITORIA ([vuitoria]) and Dutch which mean victory with Portuguese, means navigation to that.

Lets go, Victorious Fur-braiders!

Wow..maybe the city of Nagasaki is paying tribute to the first two Euro nations that set up shop in Japan. The great novel Shogun deals with the Portuguese-Dutch rivalry as a sub-plot. It makes sense in this context.

DOLA

Nagasaki was the only city that the Shogunite allowed Europeans to set up trading posts and visit.

The way I read it is that it means "Navigation to Victory", which although sounds odd in English, in Japanese maybe it isn't odd.

The logo is a mandarin duck (not a seagull), which the translation says is the prefectural bird of Nagasaki.

^ that would be a trola, FYI.

That makes a little more sense than what I got out of it.

Given that the poster is a 'Troll' it makes even more sense.

I think it was before your time, but dola was replaced with skipaway for a while. Some people missed it, and so they thought everyone was talking to skipaway.
