These wrist bands seem to be the new big fad. Just saw on TV that they're starting to be banned from schools now - what great PR!! How come everyone wants one? they're all over eBay? Was it the Radio 1 beat bullying thing that kicked it all off, getting celebs to wear them as a PR stunt? But they were the blue bullying ones - and everyone's on about the white and pink wristbands now. Livestrong ones, breast cancer ones, Tsunami - you name it... Just take a look on Google to see how much demand there is for them.

Any other color than Yellow is not an authentic LiveSTRONG band. A quick check of the LAF's store (http://store.laf.org/) confirms this.
Nike has released a similar set of bands that are white and black and are interlocked. The Stand Up Speak Up campaign is to fight racism in football.

Those bands are only available in Europe at the moment.
A number of organizations have contacted Nike and the LAF to authorize the production of a similar band, and so far LAF has been pretty easy going about it.
