Lanyards are used for multiple purposes and one
of the uses is for sports events either individual or team based. Especially
the lanyards worn around the neck has many uses and applications in sports
events.

First of all, sports
events have umpires or referees as they are called who use the whistles
extensively. At times starters of athletic events also use the whistles. In
popular team games like soccer, rugby, hockey, baseball, basketball, and
others, whistles are often used. Similarly, in individual sports and athletic events
also lanyards are extensively used.

At the same time the lanyards are also used as id badges for
access to sports as well as facilities and sports arenas.

Sometimes such lanyards are customized to make them
symbols of some teams or groups and even the spectators can wear them
supporting their favorite teams in sports and game events. Spectators wearing
particular colored lanyards can easily be recognizable as the supporter of a
particular team. Such items are often screen printed for making them more
attractive as well as rendering the color structure durable.

Last but not the
least; lanyards make great mementos
for the good seasons as well as for adding one for each of the teams in any
league or such tournaments could constitute great items for collection by the
fans.
