In 2013, the Castleford Tigers of rugby's European Super League gave their stadium a new name: the Mend-A-Hose Jungle.
Mend-A-Hose is an interesting sponsor, to start. It's a hydraulics company based in the UK that deals in, well, hoses. But really, what's odd about this stadium name is not its sponsor but its label. The stadium was previously called "The Jungle" until corporate sponsorship turned it into the Probiz Coliseum and, later, the Wish Communications Stadium.
Castleford Tigers Commercial Director Mark Grattan said, per Joe Strange of Mail Online: "As part of our search for a new stadium naming rights sponsor, we were looking for somebody who shared our desire to reinstate the name 'The Jungle,' a hugely popular name amongst our fans, and we are absolutely delighted that Mend-A-Hose wanted the same."
