From http://www.uwishunu.com/2012/02/sixers-now-considering-bringing-back-big-shot-as-their-mascot/

Back in December, we told you about the Sixers’ search for a new mascot and their three new concepts: “Big Ben” Franklin, B. Franklin Dogg and Phil E. Moose. Initial reactions were mixed. The Sixers have since decided not to introduce a new mascot until later this season or potentially next season. But Sixers CEO Adam Aron did take to Twitter yesterday to ask fans about the idea of bringing back Big Shot as the Sixers mascot, saying “Been a surprising ground swell for Big Shot. Do you want Big Shot back… Yes or No?” What do you think? There’s already an online petition…

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.

 

• SixersCEOAdam Adam Aron Go to www.NewSixersOwner.com RT @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??
