here is one I didn't know

Smurf Hats are Phrygian Caps

There is an urban legend that the Smurfs represent the KKK. The Smurfs wear white pointed hats and are led by a leader who wears a red pointed hat (like the Grand Dragon or the head of the KKK).

In fact, the Smurfs wear Phrygian or Liberty caps. In Roman times, the cap is worn by former slaves to symbolize their freedom. During the 18th century, red Phrygian cap became a symbol of liberty.



Some interesting info - just thought I would share it - for the obvious reason
