Why do NBA players wear a black or white clothe on the left arm of their shirts?

Its a sweat band/ arm band / wrist band. Its a fasion, works like a sweat band, and is comfortable... (black and white match with anything so thats why they wear those colors)

They Would look stupid sitting on the bench Naked ...\n\nOk, here goes - I do believe it is a tradition thing - back in the day managers also played as well. From a practical standpoint baseball is played outdoors on a field with dirt as a component, in the summer so I do not think a suit would hold up very well. \n\nI would not be surprised however to see a shift in the not so distant future to managers and coaches wearing co-ordinated and officially licensed MLB gear like their counterparts in the NFL do. The reason for this shift would of course be money. Reebok, Addidas, Nike and whoever would compete to be the licensee for offical MLB dugout clothing. This would then also allow this gear to be sold and marketed to the generall public as such with MLB getting a small cut I'm sure.\n\nJust my opinion

because they don't want well-paid professional athletes coming in looking like a bunch of thugs from the hood...not while on team business.  they can save that for the backyard bbq's and the clubs on their own time.

to respect the other team

nothing to explain, just players swapping shirts after a game

I think they are not intentionally showing theirs, it is just because they want to feel comfortable. You know playing tennis is not easy you will sweat a lot and most of the entire game you end up running the court. Wearing bra will distract their performance on court.

Alot of players use those bands for extra grip when they carry the ball.  But thats mostly running backs.  Others use them to make their biceps look bigger.

Okay....I was taking this question seriously until I read "That's why they wear a lot of black."  LOL\n\nI guess I should pray for them to stop being sneaky and wearing black.

The NFL has a contract with Reebok which requires the players and coaches to wear their apparel. The NFL receives a lot of money from Reebok for this.

by far, the most noticeable is the playoff beard, and likely most common. some teams dye their hair a certain colour. different individuals have different superstitions also. the most common is doing the same thing on game day(wake up at certain time, eat certain meal). most also have an order for putting on equipment

To identify players.  The shirts can be used by someone else next year because they have no names on them.  Saves the team money.

They dont change their uniform after each game.  They change them according to home or away.  If they are playing at home then they will wear their dark jersey but if they are playing away then they will wear their light.  They will sometimes change their jeresy and wear the retro jersey just to change it up and get the crowd more into the game.

They're actually holding onto their pants.  Having ridiculously big pants is a culturally acceptable clothing trend.  If they don't hold onto the front of their pants, they'll fall down around their ankles and they'll trip.  It's not just black guys.  White guys with big pants do it too.

As it is confusing if there are people on the same team with two names or two different teams with same name players. They also do that to carry family pride.
