Tricolor hat



The tricolor hat (Gorra tricolor) is a cap popularized in Venezuela by opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles Radonsky. Its design replicates the yellow, blue and red colors and stars shown on the Venezuelan flag.

History
Although Hugo Chávez often wore the colors of the flag and ignored rules governing campaigning, chavistas attempted to sanction Capriles for violating election rules; popular backlash propelled the cap to a symbol of the opposition. Nicolás Maduro later in 2013 co-opted the cap as a symbol of the Bolivarian Revolution with Maduro claiming the cap's design was the idea of Diosdado Cabello.
