Facts About Stranger Things
The significance of Hopper’s blue wristband
One of the easter eggs in Stranger Things that could easily have gone unnoticed was Chief Hopper’s wristband. For the majority of the first two seasons, the blue band was always seen on his wrist.
Eventually, it was revealed that this was the band his terminally ill daughter wore before she died. However, at the end of season 2, Eleven is seen wearing the band, showing that Hopper’s grief may have been let go of, after adopting Eleven.
