I believe it was a mark of respect for Peter Evison, who's wife passed away.
1 italian soldier died in Afghanistan this week so there wearing a black arm band.
An arm band tattoo could have different meanings depending on the individual. A solid black arm band tattoo could signify mourning.
From any major sporting goods store.
because one of the band players had a bad arm before they named their band so they called themselves elbow
This is because of the three men who died in the riots when they were run over
A football players wear a thin white band on the arm to protect the tendons near the elbow. The pressure from the band minimizes pain and injury to that area.
According to the New York Times article (see related links below), the armbands are nothing more than the current fashion trend with the purpose of showing off their upper arm definition. Wearing the armbands (in many cases wristbands moved up to the upper arm) has no medical or performance benefit.
People who had relatives and friends die.
The right arm
As long as you feel you need to, or as long as you are actively mourning the loss of a loved one.
It's only fashion. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/18/sports/football/18bands.html
