Some of them are the team bands. I know Texas Long horns have them. I have two green ones. One from USO "Support our troops" another green band as a work Safety reminder. But there are many others, Yellow is "livestrong" Cancer supporters. Many Many more. Pink bands for breast cancer awarness or supporters. etc.

1. Supposedly because the new ball has better grip and feel, eliminates the need for a break-in period, which is needed for leather balls, and has consistant characteristics from ball to ball.\n\n2. The league says the tights ban is because they don't like the look of the tights and thought players wore them as some sort of fashion statement. The league wants the look of players on the court to be consistant. They've also banned players from wearing rubber wrist bands that have writing on them like the players name.\n\n3. The Bulls have their own team rules, and one of those rules is that players don't wear headbands (the Utah Jazz have the same team rule). Players can be fined, benched and suspended fo breaking team rules. Teams have their own reasons for having team rules, such as putting out a particular image, as a show of team unity, etc. There's nothing wrong with wearing a headband, but players need to be aware of their teams rules and follow them. The flap with Wallace started because he says he didn't know about these rules at the time he signed with the team.

It is a symbol of the band HIM, they created it themselves. My guess would be that if you can find info on the band HIM then you will probably find why they created it and use it.  What it represents to them.

I have a son that plays high school football and almost nobody wears them anymore, even when i was in high school not that many kids were wearing them any more.......they probably should but it doesent seem to be stressed as much as it used to and of course kids dont ever think they will get hurt anyway

Alot of the running backs use them to get a little extra grip on the ball.  Other players use them to make their biceps look bigger

I personally say no, as I find most of them to be funny and entertaining, but Walter Payton and Barry Sanders just handed the ball to the ref after they scored.  That is class!\nDon't forget, NFL stands for the No Fun League.  The NFL has been implementing rules to limit player expression for years.  They outlawed skull caps a couple of years ago as well as bandanas.  Every player has to have their socks pulled up a certain height and players aren't allowed to celebrate former players on the field.\nWhen Johnny Unitas passed away, the following week, Peyton Manning wanted to wear the high top shoes like Johnny U always wore.  This wouldnt give Manning any sort of advantage, but the NFL said no because it didnt fit into the dress code.\nJake Plummer wanted to wear a patch on his jersey and helmet for an entire season for fallen friend and former teammate in college (ASU) and pro (AZ Cardinals) Pat Tillman.  The NFL said no because they want to constantly promote the NFL over any individual player.\nEver see a current coach get dressed up and wear a suit on the sideline?  Not anymore.  20-30 years ago, coaches were allowed to wear whatever they wanted, but now the coaches have to wear something with their teams emblem on it.\n\nThese rulings are the most depressing thing about the NFL.

The Steelers logo was introduced in 1962, and is based on the old U.S. Steel logo. It consists of the word "Steelers" surrounded by three astroids (hypocycloids of four cusps). The yellow hypocycloid represents coal, the red one is for ore, and the blue one represents steel scrap.\n\nThe team's colors are black and gold, with their helmet being solid black with a gold central stripe and small white uniform numbers on the forehead. The Steelers are the only NFL team that puts their logo on only one side of the helmet (the right side). At first, it was a test to see how the logo appeared on their helmets, but its popularity led the team to leave it that way permanently.

Yeah, Cutters makes some quality football gloves. I don't play WR (I'm actually a RB/LB) but I would recomment the Cutters Pro-Fit Receiver Glove...they retain grip even when wet and they come in color schemes that no other manufacturers offer. I also got a chance to try a pair of Reebok Speed Grip Reciever Gloves this past week...they're nice too...they have this new "Griptonite" Technology on there that keeps the palms dry even when the gloves are wet...I'd still go with the Cutters Pro-Fit Receivers gloves, simply because they look better than anything Nike has to offer and also because the palm is grippier. For a less expensive alternative...try Reebok's X-Treme Grip II gloves.

I believe they used to wear them once a year.  On the week that they inducted players into the chargers ring of fame.  But it seems that they wear them more often now due to their popularity in San Diego.  I doubt they will wear them again this season.  They have worn them twice already out of 8 home games.  \n\nI wish they wore them every week though...
