One of those things that sounds like a terrible indictment of the modern era, until you realise it already exists - think of all the Red Bull franchises, PSV etc, not to mention all the stadium sponsors...after a short time you forget it's a sponsor, it just becomes the name of the team. Granted, Burger King stands out a bit more than most, but they announced Bart Simpson as a new signing not long ago so it shouldn't be that big a surprise.

Its nice to support local businesses, although I doubt they could stump up £6.80 for naming rights..............

It is odd that the premier league no longer has a sponsor.
It is one of the best leagues in football and probably the richest and has great coverage all around the world including the US - you would have thought companies would be queuing up to be associated with it.
I think the foreign TV broadcasters prefer no branding so they can stamp their own sponsors all over the games without worrying about clashes.The amount they pay means they have quite a say in the matter.
It makes you wonder if they might demand the sponsorship comes off the shirts too in the future - that would be a great day.

So, there's a team out there actually called Hamburger and they choose to go for a pun instead.
God bless you, Burger King!
edit: scratch that, i gave them credit for St Petersburger King, but that honour goes to @Dirty Ewok - bless you, sir and apologies.

PSV are a bit different though as they were founded as the Philips factory workers' team. Similarly, Bayer Leverkusen were founded by workers of Bayer pharmaceutical company. Those names are a bit different from a modern sponsorship deal.
