* Speaking of football teams (aka soccer), their kits (their jerseys) are often this to newer fans of the game. Football kits are more often than not sponsored by a particular company, and so they are allowed to basically put whatever they want to advertise on the front and center of the uniforms (for example, [[http://www.britfoot.com/images/big-shirts/arsenal.gif Fly]] [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wgliw6o6LHw/UZfjnLqEKaI/AAAAAAAASEc/0SB0xE1KqYs/s1600/PSG+13-14+Home+Kit.jpg Emirates]]) and the kit manufacturer is usually on the wearer's right breast, while the badge for the team itself is usually on the wearer's left breast. Many newcomers to the sport, particularly Americans (where in nearly all other team sports, direct advertising on jerseys is not allowed and so they would never see uniforms like this), have mistaken the kit sponsor for the actual team name.

* Sportscaster Sam Leitch once said of a victory by a Scottish football club named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raith_Rovers Raith Rovers]] that the fans would be dancing in the streets of Raith. Only problem is, Raith isn't a city or a town. It's a geographical area of Fife, a Scottish county. The team is actually based in Kirkcaldy, a town in Fife.

** Lampshaded when the Welsh football club TNS won the League of Wales and a sportscaster announced that fans would be dancing in the streets of TNS. TNS stood for Total Network Solutions at the time, the name of the club's sponsor, but was later backronymed for "The New Saints".

* The "Super Bowl" is the name of the final game of the annual NFL (National Football League) tournament in the United States. A lot of people outside the United States think it refers to a bowl-shaped sports arena, a major tenpin bowling tournament, or a nickname for American football in general.

* When Anaheim was granted a Creator/{{Disney}}-owned expansion team in the {{NHL}}, rumors swirled, which were later proven to be true, that they would name the team the "Mighty Ducks" after the hockey team in the Disney [[Film/TheMightyDucks movie franchise of the same name]]. Problem is, ''The Mighty Ducks'' was the title of the movie. The team in the movie was, of course, just called the "Ducks", making the title a juxtaposition. When the pro team [[{{Defictionalization}} got mentioned]] in one of the movie sequels as being named after the kids' team from the first movie, this didn't make any sense. Wouldn't they wonder where the "Mighty" came from? Ironically, the pro team has now dropped the "Mighty" anyway (after Disney dumped the team, it's the Anaheim Ducks), though many people who don't follow the sport still call them that. [[note]]And this doesn't even go into the cartoon series.[[/note]]
