Abstract

A bandanna can connect a person to an object, such as a sports team for example, by printing the team name on the bandanna and wearing the bandanna around the neck. The bandanna may be worn for team sports to identify players on different teams by using differently designed bandannas, making uniforms unnecessary. In some embodiments, the bandanna may be used for sports such as flag football or flag rugby, where the bandanna may act as the flag where removal of the bandanna is a “tackle”. The bandanna may connect around the neck using a magnet or a clip, for example.
