2d Sprite creation at 0,0,0 with camera at 0,0,0 but renders wayyy off screen

I'm trying to generate a background procedurally and am having some fundamental issues with how Unity is positioning my newly created sprite. I have an empty project where I added the following piece of code to a script attached to my camera object. There's also a simple player sprite in the main view but it does nothing. The code below the sprite wayyyy off screen.. With the camera at 0,0,0 I have to position it at an x,y position that is very different from the camera position...

Code

 GameObject background;
 SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
 // Sprite sprite;

 void Awake () {
 }

 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
     Debug.Log ("hello!");

     background = new GameObject ();
     spriteRenderer = background.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

     Texture2D tex = new Texture2D(100,100);
     for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
         for(int j = 0; j < 100; j++) {
             tex.SetPixel (i, j, Color.black);
         }
     }
     tex.Apply();
     Sprite sprite = Sprite.Create(tex, new Rect(0, 0, 100, 100), new Vector2(50,50), 100);

     spriteRenderer.sprite = sprite;

     background.transform.position = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0);
 }

What am I doing wrong?
