The team name comes from the Japanese numeral for three, San, and an Italian word frecce or 'arrows'. This is based on the story of Mori Motonari who told his three sons that while an arrow might be easily snapped, three arrows would not be broken and urged them to work for the good of the clan and its retainers. Mori Motonari was a feudal leader of 15th century Japan.
