<br>The use of a hat would instantly make it clear for some people. Besides, several Red Hat employees happen to wear the Red Hat while representing Fedora or when they're representing both Red Hat and Fedora.<br><br>
Someone in #fedora-ambassadors mentioned a guy who would give a talk and wear the Red Hat while speaking of RHEL/Red Hat Inc and take it off while speaking of Fedora/Fedora Project. I can't see where would be the issue of wearing a blue hat instead of nothing. It makes clear they're different, separated and so on.</div>

On the LATAM meeting where this was discussed, people said that it<br>
would be nice to have like an official blue fedora hat. We don't<br>
really want the red hat, but the blue fedora hat. Most of us said that<br>
it is kind of strange that our distro name is Fedora but we never<br>
represent it as a Fedora hat. So we thought it would be nice to be<br>
able to wear a blue Fedora hat (:<br>
