Yellow Livestrong bracelets or wristbands

LAF Store

I assume that this is what you're talking about.

you can get nike ones not sure where you can purchase them though

eBay

I ordered a 10 pack from LAF. Took about 10 weeks to get here though. If you are keen for one, come find me at a Tigers game and i'll trade you one for a donation to Charity.

Failing that, you can find them easily on Ebay.

i find that a yellow piece of string will trick most people!

pardon my ignorance. what is a livestrong bracelet?

A yellow band with "livestrong" written on it, popularised by Lance Armstrong as a tribute to fighting (and beating) cancer.

If your ever in melbourne Livestrong bracelets can usually be found in either of the nike stores.

Cnr of Bourke and Swanston streets in the city, or the Factory outlet - smith street collingwood.

The sell for $4 at either of these stores, at least you know their authentic and prices are not glorified like on ebay!!

are they worn by cancer patients or do they generate money for cancer research?

The lance armstrong foundation provides knowledge support for cancer suffers and their families.

so in answer to your question, they generate funds

Also try Eastbay/Footlocker, all in US prices, and the shipping will be expensive (better off buying a bulk items ie shoes aswell), not sure if they still have the Livestrong, but the Lebron and other team colours readily available

im not sure that eastbay or footlocker ever stocked these items. from my knowledge the livestrong band was a nike and laf exclusive.

eastbay etc have however stocked their own lines as well as the popular nike id baller bands and lebron ones.

they sell for one euro on the european cycling tour and as at Jan 05 the LIVESTRONG foundation had sold over 1 million of these babies. Just be aware that while they look cool, and there are plenty of people making similar ones (nike, andy roderik) the money raised goes to an american foundation and you cannot be entirely sure how the funds are distributed. Perhaps it would be nicer to support local and australian cancer charities like CANTEEN and the Ronald McDonald House. Or better yet, enquire if these charities can do something similarly funky and fashionable.

The bands are actually a Nike product of which has been produced for the LAF.

If you are in Surfers, gp to Harbour Town, they sell them there at the Nike store. I know its probably far for most people on here, but just a suggestion in case anyone was planning a holiday there.

they are also selling red bands with 'humanity' written on them at the norwood food and wine festival to support red cross, perhaps an SA charity would be a more patriotic choice???

I was too drunk to notice.

I love all your braclets,and it is for a good cause.You are a very good person Lance, you are one of my favorite idols.

I love all your braclets,and it is for a good cause.T very good person Lance, you are one of my favorite idols.

If anyone has one of these ill pay them 10 bucks for it by mail.

I am willing to sell these bracelets to anyone interested for 10 bux, sent by mail, email me at janvdb@bigpond.net.au is ur interested

they only cost $3 in stores.

They cost $3 at the nike shops but at foot locker you can get them in packs of three for 15 $ wich some people say thats a rip off but it is going to a good couz

are you able to get packs of three liveSTRONG or just the nike ones. I believe it is only the liveSTRONGs that support a good cause, the generic nike pack of three are simply accessories.

wait and see what sturt have lined up .......

What I want to know is why are these and "Baller ID" bands being allowed to be worn, while you can't wear rubberbands, hairties or anything else around your wrist. Is it just Umpires aren't bothering? I've also seen WWJD bands being allowed, while i've also seen kids not allowed to wear 'friendship bands'.

i didnt realise they could be worn in games??!!

Dr Dunk - the livestong bands can only be purchased individually in nike outlets in australia. This said, can be purchased in packs of 10, 100 and even 1000(i think) directly from the lance armstrong foundation.

That's what I'm saying anonymous, they CANT be worn in games yet they're being allowed like people are turning a blind eye because the NBA players wear it they must be able to. I'd really like to know what some of the top refs think/know.

you can get them from sportspower TTP i believe

cancel that last comment.

I certainly don't let players wear them.

thanks rare23air - from an unpires Point Of View, any of those wrist bands whether they be WWJD, FROG, liveSTRONG etc cannot be worn during a game. It is those ref's who are not up to scratch or simply do not care that allow it.

LIVESTRONG BRACELETS

I have just received a shipment of authentic Lance Armstrong Livestrong bracelets from the US. I am selling them for $5 each (plus postage if required).

If you are interested in purchasing one of these hard to find adult size authentic bracelets email me on:

josephmencel@hotmail.com

Cheers,

Joseph

For all the people who think these bands shud b allowed and cant cause injury. well at training a teammate went for a rebound and got his finger stuck in mine. didnt cause ne injury but it cud happen

What id rly like to know is where do you find these bracelets in AUstralia cuz ive looked at heapz of websites but all i can find are shipments n all that. please tell me if you know any gud place to buy authentic Live Strong bracelets at shops in Sydney. thanx a bunch Love HunnyBunny XOXO mwa.

Can anyone tell me if you can still get them now and where is South Australia you can get them?? Thanks

school holidays!!! aaarrrggghhhh!!!

Tiff, Olivia, hunny bunny, take the time to read the thread above, there is a guy called Joe Mencel who has some. see post
re: Livestrong bracelets (#28025)

his e-mail is josephmencel@hotmail.com

Thanks for the info but i'd probably like to buy it from a shop.

you won't find them in shops!!
I bought mine from this guy. He's reliable and they are the real deal

Tiff, click on the link in Isaac's post #24961 looks like they ship to australia.

oh a shop, okay, well next time you ask your parents to take you shopping, just ask them to go via MELBOURNE.
That's the closest 'shop' that you will find them in, nike store on the cnr of swanston and burke if your interested.

they are also available online at www.rareairshoes.com.au

Good news guys,

I still have a few of these livestrong bracelets left but be quick because I have sold a lot of them very quickly. If you are from interstate I can organise to get some sent over to you - I have already had many of these types of transactions.

They are $5 each and they are the real deal - official adult size LAF bracelets still in original packaging.

If your interested drop me an email.

josephmencel@hotmail.com

A few people have commented about potential injuries caused by bracelets etc. Well, I don't recommend wearing them in games because:

- ask Kevin Brooks, who broke a finger in a similar incident (pocket) .... if my memory serves me correctly;

- I broke a finger in an opponent's crumpled singlet in a similar manner.

It doesn't take a lot - and those bracelets are flat out dangerous in games.

you all smell and are loosers for talking about such gay stuff. I think that you should all get a life and maybe one day you try hards will become as talentd as me, kobe bryant. Peace Out.

(Mod: I'm going to leave this here because it's so ridiculous. Not quite bunny+pancake material, but close!)

As for sydney, I've looked around about 10 stores which claimed to have them but when there they are claimed to have sold out including nike factory outlet on parramatta road, I bought a pack of 10 lance armstrongs over ebay, currently waiting for delivery, but I really want to get the plain nike ones just with the Tick, so anyone in sydney know of any place please give us a buzzzzz thanks!...

There are lots of different colours with different meaning, eg, white has ONE written on it (the ONE campaign, to stop poverty and aids), pink is for breast cancer, yellow for LIVESTRONG. You can buy a pack of 10 pink ones at Target for $10, or one for $2. go to www.one.org for the white bands. Alot of companies are now producing these silicone wristbands that are custom made (ie- you can pick a colour and pick what is written on it), but i think that defeats the purpose of charity. Check out ebay if you want to get your hands on these wristbands, but once again the money isnt going to chairty so it isnt really supporting the cause...
Hope I helped
Kate Reid

Theres also a blue one that is tsunami relief

Kate, do you know if the bracelets sold at target support a charity? and which bracelets are they? if so do you know which targets they are sold at?

joseph? i was just wondering where the profit of your sales are going, i know for a fact you bought those braclets for a dollar a peice. so why are you charging five dollars for them. are you sending your profits back over to LAF, if so we comend you, if not you PIG.

After the exchange rate, international postage, and then local postage, i'd say $5 is a good price, if you dont like it, then head to the LAF store, Isaac has linked at the top of this page and buy some for a $1 yourself.

Exactly. Postage and handling. The guy is providing a service and no one says that you have to use it.

Where can you get th livestrong bands and the breast cancer ones in Queensland?

Look, jsut read above you people! Nike Store @ Harbour Town/Pac Fair/ Robina, or wherever else there is a Nike store sells Livestrong (yellow) and Target sells breast cancer (pink)! read the posts before you post yourself, you may be asking something already answered

I live in Adeliade and am desperately tryin to bet a livestrong bracelet. Does anyone know where i can buy one from. Thanx

Oh my god, it's a fashion emergency!

After shipping (international parcel) and exchange rates, 10 of these bands should cost around $20 - $2 each! If you are not sending the $3 profit back to LAF, then you should be ashamed. That sort of thing goes against the whole spirit of fundraising for charity.
IMHO if you are really interested in charity and not profit making, then you should be giving them away or at most just charging for the shipping.

BTW, Rachel, I got mine at Rowe & Jarmin around a year ago. Don't know if they still have them

If the buyers were really interested in charity, they'd just make a cash donation... I think this stopped being about charity for most people a long time ago.

Rundave get in the real world. Many companies / individuals make money from charitable causes. Do you think Lance Armstrong makes some money off every Yellow band sold for $2? Your fooling yourself if you think he doesnt.

a teacher at my school said he got a yellow livestrong bracelet from JT cycles in south australia. there you go guys u heard it here first

well i don't live in australia but i live in toronto...where should i get them?..i've searched alll over for it-like nike, but i still cant find them

I saw these the other week on Oprah.

check oprah.com cos she was selling them on there for $1 a go.

add to that your conversion and shipping your looking around $3-4.
If anyone else is charging you more they are no better than a concert ticket scalper and should be ashamed.

Kerry, Rundave - you both say people who sell them for more should be ashamed. I dont see you offering any for sale? These people are providing a service, and if you think it is overpriced, import some yourself. The link is on top of this thread.

i said they should be ashamed becuase all of the money the LAF make off the bands goes to cancer research ... ALL of it!(according to lance on oprah)

IF people are importing them and then selling them for a profit because they are popular then they should either send the profits they make to the LAF or hang their heads in shame because the origional idea was done for a good cause and as per usual people have decided to make a fast buck and thus the whole band just looses its meaning.

But when they buy the bands originally to import them, aren't all of those profits going to cancer research? Think about it.

If some people want to pay EXTRA on top of that because they can't find the bands locally, that's their choice.

I think the whole band lost its meaning for the majority of people a long time ago.

Too true Isaac, to many people it's become a fasion thing more than a "this is for a good cause" which is stupid but good at the same time. Sure it's become a fashion thing for people which is stupid but as long as it goes to the cancer research I'm sure people that are actually doing it for the right reasons aren't going to make a huge fuss.

Good evening, i am from slovakia,and i want know where i can buy The Livestrong bracelet?what kind of shop?answer please and send answer to my mail...thanks

Any LIVESTRONGS still available in Adelaide, South Australia, June 2005?

i live in melbourne and im just wondering where i can buy a livestrong and breast cancer braclets from??????

i live in Newtown, Sydney and i was wondering where to get the "live Strong " bracelets around here.
if anyone know can you please tell me!

rareairshoes.com has them for $7.50 with free shipping

breast cancer ones = diva jewllery shop

just buy from ebay or niketown in bourke st. melbourne has them. but i agree that it seems that they have lost a bit of their meaning and became a fashion item when some people who wear them dont even understand the concept of 'livestrong'

Im goin to melbourne this week for nunawodin where do i get one from ther? and are ther any places in adelaide ???

are you serious???

Can you not read the post above yours?

Its been said many times in this post where to get them, expecially melbourne! read the posts above before making yourself look like a fool with a question that has already been answered many times over.

can you buy them from newsagencies?

some of my friends say you can, but i cant be stuffed looking myself

i want one

I have stopped wearing mine now. The whole idea has become a bit of a joke. If anyone in Adelaide wants it, you can buy it from me for $5 and I will donate that to the cancer council.

BTW, my email is rundave@gmail.com for any enquiries.

On the legality of the wrist bands, I referee at a Sydney Association and at Sydney Junior Championship meetings we are always told regards to rule interpretations, mechanics and etiquette just because the pros do it don't mean we should. We are taught to go by the book and the book says NO. The pros might do it differently cause there Pros

can you get red 1's from any shop in sydney?

can you get red 1's from any shop in sydney?

As to whether the LIVESTRONG band has become TOO fashionable or not should not make you question why you wear it. You either give a rats or not. As for the red ones, they belong to the David Hookes Foundation for Organ Donation. Check out the foundation on the net and see where you can get them from. The Advertiser (newspaper) in Adelaide was involved. Whether you can get one or not, still go down to motor reg. and enlist to donate on your drivers licence. You can't take them when you go!

can u at least tell me the web address

or can anyone else tell me were i could get 1

Go to reminderband.com or bandson hand.com they make them for Lance Armstrong and his foundation. They are the REAL ones.

Hello Everyone,
I am soon going on a trip to Germany/Switzerland in Europe. Does anyone know it I can buy a REAL livestrong bracelet in Germany/Switzerland, and if so, what stores I could buy them in?

Thank you very much

You can now also buy daffodil day ones from the anti cancer shop at marion. Their pale yellow. And you can only get the lance armstrong ones over the net. Bernie Jones Cycles was going to get some in but im not sure if they did. Other wise get off your arse and look for them yourself it aint that hard.. ive got livestrong, breast cancer and daffodil day and all i had to do was get off my arse and look them.

Thanks
Loz

Since when has there been a Nike at harbourtown?

Umm a while as far as i know. Its a huge big Nike Factory outlet. Its right at the back of the place.

I believe Lauren would probably be from the Gold Coast or Perth? Correct?

There is no Nike Factory at the Adelaide Harbour Town.

Lauren, you nearly gave rare boy a coronary - a Nike shop that he's not found sacrilege!

Yeah im from Brissy! haha sorry for scaring you rare boy

roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

where do i get livestrong bracelets in toronto?

You can buy them at Champs Sports.com or just visit that store or just order them from livestrong.com.

What are you crazy umpires and referees carrying on about? A piece of rubber causing 'injury' to a player (a sore finger). Have you stopped and thought about the pain and suffering endured by a person with cancer??? GET REAL!!!!

Annoyed,

It is a FIBA ruling, nothing to do what we personally think.

Article 4.4.2 in the rulebook, page 12

We are told to enforce it. End of story. Live with it. you can wear it before and after your game. Take it up with international sporting body who put the rule in place.

If you feel that strongly about it, you can wear a sweatband over the top of it, as articles made of cloth are allowed to be worn.

If your parents won't let you order over the net, give a friend with a credit card $10 and get them to do it for you.

aight u know what? u can get wristbands of all colours from tha nike shop at sydney ... anywayz did any1 know where tha AND 1 factory outlett is in sydney cos i herd ppl talkin bout it but wen i searched it on google the and isnt counted as a search wrd or sumthin..

AND 1 have a factory outlet/store in Preston, victoria. Fast Break Sports i think it is called and stock all their current range and well as heavily reduced older shoes and apparel....

Worth a look if your ever in Melbourne.

And1 is at Bell Street, Preston. They have ridiculously cheap shoes (starting at $30!) if you have feet size 11 or above (especially 13 and above). They even stock size 18s for the behemoths amongst us. Definitely worth a look.

relating to the guy who was talkin bout the David Hookes Foundation bands, i can't find anything @ http://www.davidhookesfoundation.com/

Breast Cancer Network Australia has hot pink wrist bands for sale for $5... maybe that's the one youv'e seen? visit www.pinkband.com.au to find out where to buy one.

Good luck
Kerrie

Jeans for Genes - Light Blue
Just Jeans are selling them for $3.

MS - Red
The ms foundation of Queensland is selling wristbands saying "slove the mystery" you have to buy a min of 5 for $15. get them off their internet page.

Daffodil Day - pale yellow
The cancer shop sells them for $3.

Breast Cancer - pink
Diva was selling them. Target sell them but only when they have like a breast cancer promotion.

Lance Armstrong - Yellow
The only place ive found them was from the internet.

hey never buy them off ebay coz the money isnt going towards a good cause its going to the people who you bought it off!

i got a blue one from just jeans, a pink from diva, red from mathers shoes and yellow for daffodil day...

i got a orange one while buying a butterfly badge for the deaf....

I reckon they (Nike or bike shops or someone) should just get a bunch of the Livestrong ones in. A lot of people who I've asked that have them have no idea where they got them from. Which is useless...

Is it true that if you mix different coloured wristbands that they give a whole meaning altogether??? just a roumour i heard. if anyone knows can ya put it on plz

wtf??!! they mean what you take them to mean!

where can I get Livestrong bracelets in Hobart. ne idea?

You can buy wristbands off the internet, from alot of different sites. If you are really wanting to buy and help the charities you will do the work and look up the different sites, just type in 'wristbands' and you get a whole heap of sites.

I now have 24 wristbands and 20 of them are charities and all the money went to those charities.
If you go to http://en.wikipedia.org this tells you all the different wristbands avaliable.

Guy, all I want to know is where I can get one in Canada!
