what the hell is that for

 

[enigma]

I heard it was for charity. Costs about 2 pounds or so.. That's what I heard.

I think it's used it other sports too.

why did Nike have to get involved
they put their logo on everything these days
i've even seen a nike walkman

 

[enigma]

Well maybe because they're the manufacturers and maybe they lead the project? Hrm. Who knows.

they do not have their logo on it - all it says is LIVESTRONG (and on the inside made in china)

if u guys didnt know, it is for cancer. lance armstrong was/is raising money for his foundation, and he asked nike to make these at 1 dollar a piece... if they sell 6 million of these, nike will personally give 1 million to the foundation. this has already happened and now they are making more

 

[birminghamfan2]

but are they making blue ones now too?

i thought they were just yellow

 

[enigma]

Are they hard to find? Might get one of those while I'm in the UK this coming December.

they were sold out, but very recently they started making them again. they shouldnt be too hard to find, although my cousin from england came here and was desperate to take mine cuz he cant find it in england


birmingham - i hav no idea abt the blue ones, but i can tell u that its definitley got nothing to do with lance armstrong and nike

You can order the yellow livestrong bands from the official LAF (Lance Armstrong Foundation) website. www.laf.org i think it is...

But now I heard Nike's also making these bands in other colors WITH their logo on it and with other text. I'll stick to my yellow livestrong band coz it's for charity. The other colors go to nike...

Nike has released what are called "Baller ID" wrist bands. They come in multiple colors and have a Nike Swoosh on one side, and either "Baller", "Team", "Respect", or "Player" on the other side.

Here's the color pack with the one that Rooney was wearing.

Here's a site with more color packs:

Many people wear them as some sort of trend here in Italy

i tried to get one there impossible to find, i was in niketown in london and they wer completley sold out , i still want one tho, u can buy one online from livestrong website but you have to donate like 20 bucks before they send u one, so if u really want to then u can donate and get a livestrong band.

Nike put there name on everything these days. They even do it with goalkeeping gloves, they take off the other companies logo and put there own on

Wow. How do you know that, Liam?

Tons of people in america have the livestrong bands, this past week i saw pink ones specifically for breast cancer.

Look at this pic from the MLS cup, i see three people with them on

Four people, actually.
