My dad says the same thing about not wearing clothing with writing on it, and for exactly the same reasons.
I haven't seen the wrist band things here, but they do sound a bit daft. I have extremely low tolerance for people who try to imply I'm not socially conscious because I won't follow their latest fad cause. I tend to get stroppy and say things like '10 years volunteer work with kids in an area with a mix of serious disadvantage and refugee communities, and what do you do?' Which has more impact, wearing a $2 badge for a few days, or 2 hours a week hands on work for a decade?
