January 18, 200521 yr Ohhh well it isnt like we didnt copy a million other colleges/businesses/organizations with this either..all is well if it is going to a good cause..but the cubs still suck
January 18, 200521 yr Ya, but everybody stole it from the original breast cancer wrist bands which includes lance Armstrong, who did not come up with the idea.
January 18, 200521 yr yeah, but the Sox were classy enough to mention "charity" on their wristband, and I believe the Cubs just have "believe" and the Cubs logo on it... it's always about them!
January 18, 200521 yr QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) The sox ripped off livestrong...as did everyone else. Live Strong ripped off Breast Cancer awareness, they had pink wrist bands a while back, I don't think there was any before that.
January 18, 200521 yr My mom sent a complaint about this that they didn't advertise this for soxfest on the news (ABC 7)

January 18, 200521 yr QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) :fthecubs A succinct and eloquent response.
January 18, 200521 yr I heard they are giving them to their own scalpers who then go out on the street and sell them for 20$. The whole "for a good cause" thing is kind of lost.

The whole "for a good cause" thing is kind of lost. That's probably right. Some guy is going to buy them all up and try to sell them for 1050% the original price.

January 18, 200521 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 08:49 PM) "that guy" of course being a wholey owned subsidary of Tribune Corporation... More than likely, yes.
January 18, 200521 yr Not sure when the breast cancer ones came out but I do remember Nike coming out with ones like "Team" and "Baller" around August of 03.
January 18, 200521 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) My High School colors were blue and gold, maybe I'll wear both. You would've loved my high school. Our main color was green.
January 18, 200521 yr Maybe they could make one for less fortunate Cub fans that say: "Can't even afford the roof across the street."
