thumb A Radhand is a brand of a three dimensional variety of a foam hand, also known as a foam finger; a sports paraphernalia item generally worn on the hand by sports enthusiasts to show support for a particular team. It is constructed of a closed-cell foam material and contains a cavity on its underside to allow it to be worn on the hand. A distinct feature of a Radhand is its sculpted dimensional characteristics, closely replicating the form of a human hand. The cuff area on the product often displays a team logo, slogan or other graphic element so that it may be identified with a specific team. This product may be significant in that it is considered an evolution of previous planar-like forms of a "foam finger"--an item that is widely considered to be an icon in pop culture. A Radhand first appeared in public on February 7, 2009 when members of The Kennel Club, a student run fan organization at Gonzaga University, wore them during a nationwide telecast of ESPN GameDay. Radhand products are manufactured by Radhand, LLC, a company based in Spokane, Washington.
