Green Wrist Band Video
Just one question
The article says blue means "Republicans" and red means "democrats". Is it referring to the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S.? Because in the U.S., it's currently the other way around, blue for left-wing democrats, red for right-wing republicans. Stancel 21:59, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Not sure
I'm not sure about that. I just got them off Google. I'll switch them over. AndrewDuffell 16:11, 9 May 2005 (BST)
Minor Edit
In the Blue section of the table, I amended "Conservatives" to read "Conservatives (UK)." This is to prevent confusion between the UK's Conservative Party and those subscribing to the political philosophy of conservatism. Please feel free to amend as necessary.
Bands
Brown band
I saw someone wearing a brown band in a Sunnyvale (CA) restaurant which said "Diarrhea". I asked him about it, and he told me it's the world's #1 killer.
Glow-in-the-dark MILK band
My school gave me a Never Stop Milk wristband, it's glow in the dark. I didn't know wear to put it in the table. It's white when not glowing, green when glowing. It says "Live Stronger with MILK www.neverstopmilk.ca". WestJet
- I'd create a new section for it called White/Green Glow, and maybe ad a foot note explaining it...-Andrewduffell 09:21, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- I don't know how to... Anyone else?-

I got these Halloween rubber bands inside chocolate/candy packages. All my classmates wear them, like all the guys. When did this become popular to teens? -Lil_Flip246
Yellow band
I've got an orange band from Thailand ("long live the king" and "we love the king" in thai). I think, it's the one you are refering to as yellow. (It's definetely orange. :-)) They told me it's for supporting the king's charity projects. (It's only here that i read that it has something to do with the celebration of the king's crowning anniversary.) 84.160.94.79 18:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Charity or Commercial
Are we happy promoting commercial wristbands? Is it of interest that certain companies give away or sell wristbands? I am more interested in charities and causes myself.
Merge request
Not sure I personally support a merge of Masturband in here, given the specificity and the eventual opportunity to expand the article people want to merge here. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 15:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps merge to Gel bracelet? It's difficult to say without seeing a picture. - Malkinann 08:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
black/ white
me and a alot of my friends actually have the Invisible Children Awareness wristbands; so i don't know exactly why it keeps getting deletedBrennan 05:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Suggestion + additions
I have an orange one which supports the United Way, and a maroon and gold one which is for Chippewa Pride. Also, I think we should find links to wherever you can get specific wristbands.
- Also, a blue and white one is for the Detroit Pistons
The big list
I think this list has got way too big, and meaningless for use in an encyclopedia. I suggest we replace it with a few of the best known bands.. i.e Original Livestrong, BBC bullying one, and Make Povery History. It has got that every cause is listed, many in multiple colours.
List of wristbands
The following table is a partial list of causes and organizations which can be supported by the wearing of wristbands, organized by the band color.
Cotton Wristbands
Perhaps there should be a section covering cotton wristbands as they are very much different from silicone ones. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.221.179 (talk) 23:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Wristband Related Question
There a wristband related question here that maybe some of you could answer.174.3.103.39 (talk) 21:01, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
There is more under the sun, Horatio
Just for a taste of the varieties of wristbands not mentioned here, and the problems they either try to solve, or have: http://www.google.com/search?q=bbc+wristband+problem --Lexein (talk) 23:27, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
The big list
I think the big list should go in its own List article, with inclusion criteria like "has an article, or is sourced in at least one independent, reliable source". These criteria would weed out all the redlinks, and many of the poorly sourced bluelinked articles, too. Discuss? --Lexein (talk) 23:27, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Sentence
That sentence "Everydaywristbands.com state that many organizations and non-profits use wristbands as the best way to promote awareness." seems more marketingish than wikipediaish, maybe soumone could edit it if it breaks somes wiki etiquette rule?--24.202.166.167 (talk) 22:44, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
