But wearing “Rosary pro-life” hats following a pro-life March smells more like an organized stunt than just a few kids wearing Christian hats. Maybe there is more to the story.

I used to live in DC and it was very common to see groups of people wearing some type of "uniform" such as pre made hats and T-shirts so they can identify other members of their group in a crowd or find each other when lost.

That's especially true of kids and senior citizens on field trips where it is like herding cats and if one of them strays off from the pack the tour leader or chaperone has a major hassle on their hands.

Yeah, they can double as a billboard promoting their cause, but there's a practical aspect too. Trust me, if you had to chaperone a group of 30 hyper teenagers around a busy city you would be grateful if they were all wearing a green hat and red t-shirt. etc.
