Time Traveling Hipster

In 2010, an intriguing photograph from 1941 resurfaced depicting the reopening of the South Forks Bridge in Gold Bridge, British Columbia. The crowd gathered for the event is, for the most part, exactly what one might expect for the time period. However, one figure in particular stands out. He's been dubbed the time traveling hipster. The man in question appears to be wearing modern clothing, including a logo, printed T shirt, a hoodie or sweater, and sunglasses, all strikingly out of place in the 1941 setting. Additionally, he seems to be holding a modern style camera, which adds another layer of mystery. Skeptics have suggested reasonable explanations. The sunglasses, for example, were not completely out of the question for the era. The logo on the man's shirt could be from a Montreal maroons hockey team sweater, an actual item available in the 1940s.
