The Chennai Super Kings are one of the best named teams in all of sports. Just being "Kings" wasn't audacious enough for them.

Im just a touch young for that. Who was the Knight Rider. Like his name was Michael Knight, and he worked for Knight Industries which was not his company, and the car is called KITT which is Knight Industries Two Thousand. So who was the titular Knight?

This is right up there, but they unfortunately lose a few points when you learn that they're the Fighters, owned by Nippon Ham Foods Ltd.
