i thought jelly bracelet is more associated with emo/goth kind of thing, instead of sex! Yiyun 05:19, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Color chart

Does anyone besides me think that there should be a color chart or something that describes what each color represents? // DecaimientoPoético 20:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There really should be a color chart. Chantessy 14:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Can somebody please add yellow to mean the cancer and livestrong idea. Also, open it up to other colors, there are so many out there!"

Do you mean for the charity bracelets, or the urban legend? If it's the former, perhaps, but it should be sourced. If it's the latter, then no, as it seems to vary from location to location.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the awareness bracelets are covered at wristband; such a chart should probably go there.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was the second one, but after reading through a website I got from a G-search (I can't find the site right now), you're certainly right about them varying. // DecaimientoPoético 21:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think a color chart would certainly be useful. Something like the List_of_awareness_ribbons which would make it easy to add new meanings. Some of them are not really charity, for example an orange bracelet with the text "Long live the king" is quite popular in Thailand. Ateras 13:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure they've got the wrong kind of bracelets for the urban legend. The urban legend applies to thinner bands, as below:

School spirit

Ive added the fact that they are used for school spirit(bought one yesterday!)

Could someone add some other school names that have theese?

It is in a tye dye of the school colors(orange, black, white) - -- - C2wmaster (talk • contribs) 22:13, August 21, 2007 (UTC).

Split?

I realize the article isn't very long, and splitting it up would basically make 2 stubs, but aren't these two distinctly different kinds of bracelets? I followed a link here that said "awareness bracelets" and was confused when I saw the urban legend section. I'd heard of the urban legend before, but thought it was the other kind of bracelet (it'd be really hard to snap a livestrong bracelet off someone's hand).

I merged them together because I was under the impression they were two styles of the same bracelet (or at least that they weren't different enough to warrant 2 articles). If I was wrong, we should follow your suggestion.--Cúchullain ^t/c 19:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a thicker one, made from silicon rubber, which is the awareness bracelet. Then there's the very thin one often made from plastic, the thin plastic one is the one that suppostly grants boys a sex token if he breaks one. cecikierk
