Gridiron yard indicators
Hash marks are short parallel lines used for counting, marking, or measurement.
In tallying, groups of four vertical lines crossed by a fifth represent counts of five.
On football fields, hash marks are the short lines running parallel to the sidelines that indicate yard positions.
The term also refers to military service stripes worn on sleeves.
