Who is the first aider here?
The same band, a different field. At a festival, on a school trip or in an office it has to be clear at a glance who to find when something happens. A fluorescent yellow band with three letters does that better than a vest hanging in the cupboard.

The first-aid band is our best-selling band outside sport. It is elastic, so it fits over a coat and over a T-shirt, and it goes in the washing machine. Companies order it with the first aider's name on it, or with the company logo beside it — then you see at once who belongs to which organisation at a shared event.
More than first aid
The idea works anywhere one person has to stand out: the teacher with a school class at the theme park, the "ask me" volunteer on the open day, the groom at his stag party (with a text we will not repeat here), the team captain at a company outing. Pick a colour, put a word on it, and everyone knows.

One match, one band: Sparta – PSV
On 6 May 2023 Sparta's captain wore a band that was used exactly once. Both club crests, the date, the opponent. After the final whistle it did not go back in the bag; it went to the display cabinet. More and more clubs turn every home match into a small monument this way — and it costs less than you think.
Countries & tournaments
Orange on the arm — and 74 other countries
The country band is the classic. At a Euros or a World Cup it is everywhere: in the schoolyard, at the neighbourhood tournament, on the campsite in France. But the best-selling country band in our shop is not the Netherlands. It is the Czech Republic.
City & region
Stronger through struggle
Rotterdam's coat of arms carries a motto that might as well have been written for every captain. Regional bands are the shop's quiet bestsellers: Utrecht has been on top for years, with Rotterdam, Limburg and The Hague behind it.
