JJ's green bracelet/wristband

Postby RGV Pony » Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:11 pm

Has it on in the photo from UH's sideline in the 'Secret Coach' thread and also in the photo taken in his suit from the pressbox at SMU. Going out on a limb, I'm guessing it's not a WWNBD bracelet.

Anyone know?

Not sure what his specifically might be for because there are hundreds of these awareness bands or ribbons out there. The ribbon colors and band colors typically have the same meanings

But here are some possibilities from Wikipedia:

Blue/Green ribbon - Mental Health Awareness

Green ribbon - Organ transplantation and donation awareness, Environmental protection, Lyme Disease

Teal ribbon - Ovarian Cancer, Sexual Assault, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Never really understood the ribbon or wristband fad myself, but whatever makes you feel better I guess.

Or even a Countrywide "Protect this House" (worst PR attempt ever) wristband.

Don't forget the Steven Colbert Wrist Strong bracelet to raise wrist awareness.

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

The green bracelet/wristband is from e'o na toa. The proceeds benefit Friends of Hawaii Charities, HUGS, Na Koa Football Club, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Hawaii and the June Jones Foundation. You can get more info and see a photo of JJ wearing the green wristband while he talks with Colt Brennan at the following link:

I forgot about the June Jones foundation. Not that I cared he was wearing it anyways, but good for him.
