Has any one else notice these strange symbols/buttons on some of the main characters of the game?



On Red, there is this weird leaf thingy on his hat. (It kind of explains what the check mark thing on Ash's hat is.)



Green has a weird thing on the corner of his shirt. (I guess it was suppose to be on a his necklace but they put it on his shirt, its probably because you couldn't see his necklace with his arms cross.)



I have no idea what the thing on the corner of Silver's shirt is. It looks like a logo to me.

What it up with these strange symbols?
The first two resemble the Earth Badge and the Rainbow badge but the other one doesn't resemble any thing.

No, I never noticed them before. Oo Good catch. Though I suppose they're simply the logos of the labels that produced the clothes. You know, look at real world stuff for example. Tons of logos everywhere.
They don't really look like badges to me...and why would anyone attach his/her badge that openly to his clothes?

Ever here of boy scouts?
Okay, so they attach their badges to thier uniforms but trainers don't have uniforms so what are they suppose to attach it to?

Well, if it is the logo of a company, then which?
Silph.co? Devon.co?
Probably not, but we don't know many Pokemon companies.

Maybe they could just be fashion accesories? :\
That is the only logical thing I can come up with. Sure, some may resemble badges but I doubt it as that would mean the protoganists would have the badges to begin with. Maybe its fashionable to have badges designed after Gym badges? :\

They are badges. I've seen other official arts where the emblems have different symbols. The one Im thinking of, Red has the Cascade Badge on his hat and Green has the Volcano Badge on his necklace. In the art you posted Red has the Earth Badge on his cap and Green has the Rainbow Badge on his necklace. Thats what the badges were originally suposed to look like. It was retconned after the Anime was released and the badges took the shape of the symbols. Silver's art, if you look close enough has Ash's 1st hat's symbol, which might be the Pokemon League Emblem.
