Tricolor hat

The tricolor hat (Spanish: Gorra tricolor) is a cap popularized in Venezuela by opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles Radonsky.

[1][2] Its design replicates the yellow, blue and red colors and stars shown on the Venezuelan flag.

[1] Although Hugo Chávez often wore the colors of the flag and ignored rules governing campaigning, chavistas attempted to sanction Capriles for violating election rules;[3] popular backlash propelled the cap to a symbol of the opposition.

[1][2] Nicolás Maduro later in 2013 co-opted the cap as a symbol of the Bolivarian Revolution[1][4] with Maduro claiming the cap's design was the idea of Diosdado Cabello.
