Got a Sixers Mascot idea??? Dear @SixersCEOAdam....

         
 
A couple of weeks ago, Philadelphia 76ers new owner and CEO, Adam Aron, (an avid tweeter) told fans where to send their ideas for a Sixers mascot.
 
  • Adam Aron Go to www.NewSixersOwner.com RT Hey Adam where can I send a mascot idea to? I think I have a winner! Go Sixers!!!
 So, of course I emailed the Sixers right away:
  • "We need a MASCOT - asap!!!  two ideas...a big puffy cheesesteak mascot called "Wiz" - kind of like the cheesesteak hats people wear, but make that a full body costume. He can dance around and give out free cheesesteaks at half time. and maybe even have a friend called "small fry" to tie in the mcdonalds promotion the sixers do.  second idea, a big puffy cracked liberty bell - "ding dong" - see link for idea - http://www.fabulousinflatables.com/images/galleries/costumes/liberty-bell.jpg -  these mascots should look FRIENDLY and CUTE and kind of SILLY!!!  not over-produced and weird with no connection to philly!!! make me proud!  thanks!! :) "
I haven't gotten any response from the Sixers yet to my amazing ideas....but while attending my first Sixers game of the season last night (Go sixers, they beat the Magic 74-69), I took a survey of other Sixers' fans to see what their ideas for a mascot would be:
  • Lee Porter, from Philly (mastermind behind  http://www.myruinedlife.com/) - we should keep the sixers winning streak alive, NO mascot
  • Craig R. (yes, THE Craig R. from the Bachelorette, Ali's season http://www.wetpaint.com/the-bachelorette/cast/craig-robinson) - bring back Big Shot
  • Craig R.'s unnamed friend - The Phanatic!
  • Josh - a big fat liberty bell and we could name it Belly!
  • Brian - Mr. Pretzel or Mr. Salt E (a big, soft philly pretzel)
  • Shelly (woman sitting next to me at game) - Phil E. Moose all the way!!
  • Joe F. - a muscle man like the patriots mascot, Pat Patriot
So, let's hear them! What are your ideas for a Sixers mascot??
