What are the black armbands that the NFL players wear right above their elbows for? What's the purpose of those?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

They're really just a fashion statement. Going by this topic in a bodybuilding forum:

haha, they're for decoration. If you wear white, it makes your arms look bigger and it makes you look faster because the flashing white catches your eye. Depending on where on your arm you put them, they'll "add size" to your arms (optical illusion). that's about it. Black arm bands don't really add or take away from your "size" or "speed" but they're a good decoration. Just another way for Under Armour to make a buck

Apparently, some of them are shock absorbing.
