The wingback is on the opposite side compared to the single wing and the quarterback is the primary passer, rather than the Halfback American football tailback .

Banded mail is a neologism coined in the 19th century. It has become entrenched in the popular consciousness as a result of its inclusion in the armor list for the Dungeons and Dragons. Described as a type of composite armor formed by combining the concepts behind the Roman lorica segmentata with Plated mail splint mail , its historicity is doubtful. However, there exists substantial confusion because of the wide variety of terms names by which similar armors are known. Banded Mail has been described as a form of mail armour mail reinforced with bands of leather , as overlapping horizontal strips of laminated metal sewn over a backing of normal chain mail and soft leather backing and as many thin sheets of metal are hammered or riveted together . The latter description more closely fits splinted mail , which consists of long metal splints connected by mail leather used for arm and leg protection. The final description of metal plates riveted to a sub strate describe a Coat of Plates , Jack of Plates or brigandine , all of which consist of metal plates riveted to a leather or cloth fronting . Finally, armor constructed of historical rows of plates platelets sewn or laced together without backing fronting would be considered Laminar flow laminar .
