Would the Fleet Center..err, the InkNotMink.comCenter...i mean MyGrandma'sCoffeeCakesofNewEnglandCenter be the winner?

I suppose the Fleet Center has an excuse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Center

Are there any other major naming rights whores?

Endeavour Field
Ronson Park

No contest. http://www.redbullsalzburg.at

A club's history name colours and history have been prostituted in the name of caffeine-filled nightclub drinks and Matteschitz's million$. Needless to say the corporate-unfriendly ultras of Europe have been whipped into a frenzy, making banners in solidarity with the furious and heartbroken fans

of the once SV Austria Salzburg. A club that I considered to be mine in that country.

Their initiative can be seen here http://violett-weiss.at/news.php. They may even form their own purple and white team, similarly to what the supporters of AFC Wimbledon did when the Dons moved to Milton Keynes.

All very sad. Very embarrassing that sporting clubs can become some pawns in the latest push for product placement and over-corporatisation.

As they say in EUROPE

NO AL CALCIO MODERNO! GEGEN DEN MODERNEN FUSSBALL!

NO TO MODERN FOOTBALL!

That's a good saying. Can I use it in Rugby League?

We may have left it too late to get the Master Chief away from the players tunnel.

Not a stadium naming rights but a damn ugly shirt.

That jersey is great.

Or not bad, anyway.

Is that Quins? Their new RL strip I'm guessing.
