News outlets are proclaiming that tomorrow at 11:00 am, there will be a news conference announcing the new name of the Wizards. Â Tune in for video and photos tomorrow.
WANE-15 is reporting:
[…] Earlier this year, a Name the Team Contest took place where fans submitted nominations. More than 2,500 names were turned in. From those, the winner was picked.
[…] Team management released a top 10 list of names that were amusing and still family friendly that didn’t make the cut.
10: Fort Wayne Newtons
 9: Fort Wayne Dudes
 8: Fort Wayne Weiner Dogs
 7: Fort Knocks
 6: Fort Wayne Fashizzle
 5: iWiz
 4: Fort Wayne Mighty Gherkins
 3: Fort Wayne.ComPadres

Thanks to Chad Gramling (Baseball in Fort Wayne) for the heads-up. Â When I caught their news cast at 6, only half the above list was mentioned.
