Devices for demonstrating support

Abstract

A device for demonstrating support or enthusiasm comprising a strip adapted to be wrapped around a person's wrist with fasteners, such as mating pieces of hook and loop fasteners (Velcro) carried at either end of the strip to secure it, in use, around the user's wrist and an array of flexible, finger-like extensions protruding from one side of the strip when the device is worn. The extensions are preferably in bright colors, solid and multi-colored, and in some cases fluorescent. The colors can be matched to the distinctive colors of a team. The extensions are preferably formed by molding, for example, injection molding a plastic resin material, such as a polymer, for example silicone or other resin.
