SUFFIELD, Ohio (AP) – Goodyear says it needs some help filling in the world’s largest nametag. The company is launching a nationwide contest to name its newest blimp.
A website will be ready to receive entries starting TODAY at noon. Ten finalists will be announced next month. And the name of the winner — to be picked in June — will be posted on a giant 18-foot-by-12-foot sign on the blimp. The name will fill in the blank on a nametag reading: “Hello My Name Is…”
(The Grand Prize Winner also gets “a day in the blimp.” Sweet.)
The names of the two active blimps in the Goodyear fleet are “Spirit of Goodyear” and “Spirit of America.” Goodyear says it’s looking for a “creative” name for its newest airship. That float will replace the “Stars and Stripes,” which crashed in June during a Florida storm.
