CrazyCarl40 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Those armbands are fairly useless. I, however, did use so pretty nice elbow pads during my time on the gridiron. It wasn't much fun getting helmets right on the bone of your elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbon Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think their purpose is to cut down on the "carpet" burns players get sliding on turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think their purpose is to cut down on the "carpet" burns players get sliding on turf. Yeah... except the 1 milimeter of skin that Gholston's armband covers isn't really worth the time it takes to put something like that on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yeah... except the 1 milimeter of skin that Gholston's armband covers isn't really worth the time it takes to put something like that on. It actually keeps his arm from SLIDING on the turf believe it or not. If his arm doesn't slide, he won't get rugburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 it doesnt matter what the arm bands are for, they are very sexy and enhance the muscles and make football way better to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
