People began to wear bracelets right after the Lance Armstrong Foundation started to distribute the LIVESTRONG yellow wristband. This wristband represented all the hardships and difficulties that Lance Armstrong beat lived though to defeat cancer. This bracelet was sold to support cancer research as well as it promoted the spirit of conquest in adverse times.
These bracelets, like the yellow “LIVESTRONG” are wristbands made from 100% silicone. There are two reasons why rubber bracelets are so famous and effective. The first is that you can customize to meet the people’s tastes. The second reason is that they are not expensive, even more if they are ordered at wholesale.
The manufacturer may personalize your bracelets with patterns and colors according to your requirements. We see people wearing these custom silicone bracelets with simple drawings and messages. You can also put the banner of a club or country on these wristbands.
Foundations and organizations use the silicone bracelets for fundraising and promoting awareness. Bracelets are ideal to promote a special dates or campaigns. For example, camouflaged silicone wristbands were sold to the general public in order to support the US troops in Iraq. Other wristbands were customized with the colors and logos of the Republican or Democratic parties to promote presidential campaigns.
Curiously, some fashion gurus say that these bracelets were a fad. However, it was clear that the simplicity of these wristbands was the key for worldwide acceptation. These bracelets will probably remain on the market for a long time.
