Always loved these things for their "cartoonish" look and the irony behind the "Just Say No to Drugs" versions may roid era players wore.

I have one of these in my collection, though I can't say I would ever wear one.

It looks like the company is selling their older wristbands from the 1980s. So the obvious question is are these bands old stock, or are they being produced again? If they are being newly produced, can you tell the difference between the new ones and original ones?

From what it looks like, the "older" players wristbands that they are selling, seem to be old stock, while the newer players (post 2011) are a newer design, and in my opinion not as nicely designed. The patches look much smaller, almost half the size, as the originals

I have an old pair of wrist bands I got off Steve Garvey back in the day. They had McDonald's arches on one side, ad for Ronald McDonald house on the other. I still have em somewhere. I think they are pretty cool. I like these newer versions as well.

Hey Guy's

I tried to order a few pairs for my son. Looked like the website wasn't working.

How did you order the new ones? & do you have a contact for them?


Thanks

Are there differences between the 80's/90's stock where you can tell the game used/game issued ones from retail ones?

And I guess my other question would be, did they make retail ones with noticeable differences?
