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.

@jgrands 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??
