On March 8, 1964, São José became a professional club.
In December, 1976, due to a financial crisis, the club changed its name to São José Esporte Clube, with the purpose of not paying its debts. The club also changed its colors, which were black and white, to the current blue, yellow and white ones, and changed its logo.

"Azulão do Vale"(Big Blue of the Valley) was the teams nickname before that, but they changed it to "Águia do Vale" when Águia became the team mascot.
