Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

The hat is one object. The ribbon is another object; a separate object. There is no connection between two in manufacturing. The idea that the ribbon would have a vertical stripe of a different color than the rest of the ribbon is ridiculous. 

 And, lo and behold, the hat in the Beers photo doesn't show it.

There, the vertical stripe is the same color as the ribbon in its middle section. And why the ribbon is black at the extremes, look, it's just art: evil, bloodied, assassination art. And if you disagree, then let's see you duplicate the photo.
