Anyone heard of Livestrong? It's Lance Armstrong's cancer foundation i think. Alot of soccer players are wearing them, which is good to see.

Here's a pic of Rio Ferdinand wearing one, sporting a funky new haircut:

And the website for Livestrong is www.laf.org

i wear one on my left wrist. It is for cancer. . Not just soccer players wear them everybody wears especially in USA.

Yeah, were all the Man U players wearing one in the game against Milan?

Not sure, i saw Ferdinand and Silvestre wearing them in some photos but i got no idea about the other players.

ohh those things
I wanted to get one
but I can't find any in Canada
they sell them on some websites for 1$ USD each

they just like what NBA players wear "Baller Bands"

Do they stop cancer from developing? If so, im definitely getting one. I don't want to end my career to cancer.

Where can i get one???

www.laf.org sell them, but the least amount you can buy them in is packs of 10. If someone finds a place where you can buy just one, let me know.

lol u a muppet?! ahhahahahahah no way!

Hahaha

www.eastbay.com (where i got mine) and they don't stop u from getting cancer they are to support cancer research.

yeah all of the man utd players were wearing them last night against PSV (cum on the pre season win!) they sorta stand out being yellow.

Do u know whats the item number? Or the name of it? Or u can just give the link to these hand band things?

I think they maybe out because they are so popular. I tried niketown.com too and i couldn't find them. Last time I went to a store to get some they were out too. So i guess u might just wanna buy the ten pack from laf.org (it is for a good cause and u can give them to friends to let them wear some).

These are the next thing to come out. They support the Kick It Out foundation - for kicking racism out of football and will be worn by - probably - footballers. Nike will make them and they will be black and white - i supose symbolises blacks and whites together - ALTHOUGH there are other skin colours apart from those two competing in the game.

They are being worn by Henry (i think i saw Rio wearing one during the game against Villa.)

The campaign across Europe is expected to recieve funds from the sale of the Nike wristbands.

Nike are "consulting" organisations like K.I.O to see how the campaign should be run.

((THE BANDS are nto yet out and a release date has not been announced))

this is the picture - only showing RIO wearing it - not close up

cool

another band to get!

worth gettin though

cool, I am deffinately getting that one even tho I haven't bought N E others

If I'm not wrong,Henry wore it at the Player of the Year Gala....

your not worng

these bands are getting annoying to many companies are making them
but there still cool so ill probly get one
i bet there only about 1$ a pop

but thats a 1$ worth spendi

they have us all in their grasp...our generation will be wearing silicon bands on our wrists for the rest of our lives!
i will probably get a black and white one aswel though...

I think (maybe wrong) that there are 2 bands, 1 black 1 white. I heard this on the tv but it may be incorrect.

Bleh i was wrong heres some info Kick it out

this is not about the kick wristband but about the beat bullying wristband, who can send me that one, because i do not live the UK, so i can't get one.
Could please someone email me thugdushi_4_evah@hotmail.com and then i will give you my address.Please could someone do that for me?

I think the wristband thing is a great idea. It's a good subtle statement. But theres just too many wristband wearers out there. I even see kids wearing them. I see people who wear them and dont even play football or basketball (or even watch them, e.g. toddlers). Thats annoying. It's either your a baller or not.

My two cents. Happy New Year everyone!

How stupid is the guy with the last post do u even understand what the wearing of the bands is about in particular the livestrong???? everyone is wearing them as it is for the cancer charity its not just a stupid fashion statement u twat why would u have to be a "baller" to wear one??????//

Wot u talkin about ya twat, u tryin 2 say u gotta play a sport in order 2 wear the bands ? The Livestrong bands are raising money for cancer sufferers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think its a worthy cause and shouldnt be dictated by whether or not you are a "baller" or not

Arse !

Any chance these will ever come out in the US? I would buy them. If anyone would be willing to send them, pm me and we can work something out.

LOL! Take it easy. What I ment was the other baller band colors. I know about the Livestrong. Thats why I said that the idea to the other b'w band is a great idea. Ergo same with the yellow. But whats with the other colors that Nike makes or the other manufacturers. Read 1st before complaining. Happy NY!

What I was getting at is the fact that u calimed kids wearing them was somehow "annoying" and that you were either a "baller" or not. Lets clear this up there are separate bands designed for basketball, with "player" etc written on them but the bands for beat bullying, anti racism or breast cancer as well as Livestrong are set up to increase awareness on these issues and hopefully raise funds for the campaigns. Therefore (Ergo if u want)if its for a worthy cause it shouldnt be deemed "anoying" if kids/non "ballers" wear them.

Ergo, concordantly, vizzavi !!

Have a good one

any bigger better pics

The black and white bands are well class, i have got a blue one but my sister has managed to loose it. Any idea when the black and white ones will be out.

Nah mate, a release date has still to be announced

any bigger pics of it

U cant really see it any clearer but heres a pic of Henry wearin the band.

oh yeah cheers v_ster

was that blue one ordered of www.radio1.com if so how long did it take to arrive.

there are no more blue 1s available off the radio1 site the only way to get them is to buy them off ebay

in reply to a question earlier i doubt the blue ones will b out in the US cos it is a british based thing.....

it might also be difficult to get your hands on the racism ones two because it will be a european based thing.....i dont know if there is a market for nike with a product liek that - how popualr is football in the states??

here's close up of henry's

any idea what it says on it there? cant make it out?

is it two wrist bands together or just one?

the white one looks v similar to a baller band i have - n the black one looks like it has white writing on it mite b kick it out or something like that ... the writing looks more like a screen print than a engraving tho so mite come off easy :S:S hope not

hoefuly they will b goin 4 free like the blue ones

I ordered the bullying band on the first day it came out and it took about 4-6 weeks. My sister ordered me another one a couple of weeks ago cos she lost my other one.

ive emailed both organisations about kick it out bands and bully ones - when i get a reply i will post it

i emalied bbc one a few days ago about the bullying bands, here was the reply i got today.

Hello,

Thanks for your email. I'm sorry to hear you haven't received your
wristband yet. Due to the huge amount of requests we've received and the
Christmas period, it's taking longer than expected.

We're dealing with the orders and sending out wristbands as quickly as
we can. If you placed an order before 31st December, you will receive
your wristband.

Thanks for being patient. We really appreciate you getting behind the
Beat Bullying campaign.

Best wishes,

The One Life team

Cheers for that mate, that email clears up a lot of peoples constant questions...........

i should of asked them a couple of other questions, coz i think i accidentally ordered 2. so i wonder if ill get 2? at least i know ill be getting one seen as i ordered it before december the 31st.

the first person to recieve theirs should post and tell us. im thinking a good week or 2, and we might start receiving them.

But remember guys, buy it because what it means, not for the trend
