I simply don't understand why anyone wouldn't wear the zipper/hook lanyard.

Aggie,
You don't wear them on your zipper --- you hook them to the loop on the front of your shirt! (Couldn't pass that one up!)

These lanyard are all designed so that, if pulled, they will fall apart, or the lanyard will come out of its slide... so you don't get strangled by the crazy fans or coaches who never liked the first whistle of the game.

As usual this is about personal preference. I like the NBA Noose the best for me because it is not as heavy and it is one string wrapped in the middle with a piece of plastic. The Smitty lanyard (if I am remembering correctly) uses two strings to make the lanyard. I never liked the feel and the style of that lanyard. The NBA Noose is the only way to go for me. I do not have a problem with sweat or anything else for that matter when suing the NBA Noose.

Peace

Mine is only one string. Looks just like the Fox 40 Noose, except the sliding device is different.

Which law firm do you use?

Ok, sorry, it's slow. I can't wait for the season to start.

I've used the smitty for years now; I also can't get used to having something around my neck. I have made one slight modification though - I put a small 1/2" diameter chrome metal ring on all my shirt loops. It's the same type of ring used for key rings; you know, the kind where you put the key on one edge, then slide the key around it until it's all the way through. I started doing that because sometimes it was hard to get the clip on the end of the smitty on and off the loop, especially if the loop was a thicker string. I just leave the ring on all the time, and it's a lot easier to take the smitty on and off the metal ring rather than the fabric shirt loop.

I believe you are correct. I wonder why this didn't come up whenever I Googled it a week ago. Interesting.
