What Logos Are On Boston Marathon Suspects' Caps?


The FBI released images of the two primary suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings.


See also the FBI-released video. View on a mirror site (e.g. Globe and Mail), as FBI.gov is crashing. See here.

Do you recognize the logos on the front of the black cap, and the front of the backward turned white baseball-style cap?

Tim W's suggestion: black one, Bridgestone golf cap. Appears to be a hit.




A photograph taken by a Boston Marathon spectator shows the Suspect #1 as he walked past the Forum restaurant on Boylston Street (where the second explosion occurred). That image shows that the back of the man’s cap contained four white figures, likely "B330." The black Bridgestone cap does those numbers, a reference to the company’s B330 golf ball.

It is intriguing that Suspect #1 appears to have a cap on that contains two 3s and Suspect #2's hat has a 3 on it. (see down below).

 The cap being worn by Suspect #2 may be a Ralph Lauren Polo baseball cap.

Why does Ralph Lauren put a #3 on their cap? "The embroidered number on Ralph Lauren Big Pony pieces traces its heritage to the traditional uniform of professional polo players. The players are assigned a position, which is designated by the numbers from one to four and displayed on team jerseys during a match. The player in position number three is usually the most experienced player on the team."

Some speculation was that the individual in the yellow rectangle was Suspect #1, but that appears to be incorrect.

Looks like those guys may be just innocent spectators -

not to mention all the guys wearing The Craft hats to coincide with P Griffin wearing The Fez, the only Steely Dan song with a third credited writer, P Griffin

Re. Big Pony: It seems to be quite trendy among Mexican druglords.

They are even jokingly called 'Narco Polo' by some.

It's not a number 3 on the white hat unless it's a backwards number 3 (comparing the orientation of the 3 in the Polo hat to the suspect, who is wearing the cap backwards, if it is a 3 it's flipped the wrong way on the hat). Also I guess it could be due to attempts to sharpen the images but the margins of the white logo on the black hat (and some other areas of the hat in other angles) looks TOO dark, like there is some photoshop going on there. Suspect 1 against the brick wall looks very weird just outside the edges of the person. Also does it count as "Twilight Language" that Suspect 1 is dressed right to the backpack almost identical to the so-called security guys we never heard of before, acting very suspiciously themselves, with a (Masonic?) skull logo on their hats? (talk about copycat!)

Oh wait I feel stupid now, I guess they don't put the 3 backwards on the other side of the hat just to make it symmetrical... I got confused by the two different sides of the hat. 3 is possible then, for sure.
