Who should sponsor the Refs? Empty Who should sponsor the Refs?

A bit of fun, following on from 606v2's most Retweeted comment this morning:

"I really hope that the refs are rebranded RaboCops".

In the Scottish Football Association, the refs are sponsored by Specsavers, which was a brilliant idea at the time. So my question to you all is, what could be the most inappropriate/ funny sponsors you can think of.

A prize of a out of date bag of Walkers crisps to the winner.*

"Walkers" would be quite a good sponsor actually, at first sight it could easily be mistaken for an apt description of many.

They are or were also sponsored by Specsavers in the Magners League, great sense of humour whoever came up with that Shocked

Walkers would be an even better sponsor for cricket umpires. Because if every batsman was a walker ...

It is Specsavers, who also sponsored what was the Fair Play League in the Magners. I wonder if they'll have the same next season.
