A method for promoting individual support, affiliation or allegiance, including printing a message on an elastic loop, wherein the message is decompressed and fully legible when the elastic loop is stretched and wherein the message is compressed and not fully legible when the elastic loop is unstretched, and distributing the elastic loop to a wearer. The elastic loop is sized to be stretched when worn on the wearer's wrist, such that the message is expanded into an uncompressed and legible configuration.
