I don't know anything about NFHS, or NCAA wrestling, or how these sports are officiated, but I believe that there must be a reason for these nonmatching wristbands. Maybe some Forum members have a brother-in-law, colleague at work, or a friend who officiates wrestling, who can find out the reason for this "fashion faux-pas"?

Billy - I believe these are used for scoring. The green hand is used to indicate a point by one of the players and the red hand is used to indicate points for the other player.
