What's, in your opinion, the worst team name or name and sponsor combo in f1 history? (2024 grid aside, those two just cannot be topped let's be real)

Okay so I looked it up and turns out a lot of motorsport journalists have been making such lists today. I see their EuroBrun, Zakspeed racing, and Mastercard Lola but honestly that's not that bad (I do admit that racing point force india formula one team was a mouthful).

BUT. I've checked a list of all teams that ever existed and they are definitely missing a few.

Cooper-Climax is up there I'd say, for starters. Footwork is also intense. Larrousse is hilarious to me because that's a french dictionary. LEC refrigeration racing is pretty stupid. And Shannon was Just A Girl.
