The National Cockade of Uruguay was first adopted by law on December 22, 1828. It features the colours of the national flag, blue and white.
Civilian and military usage[]
Civilian[]
The National cockade is used mainly by civilians. The period of civilian-military administration in Uruguay from 1973 to 1985 made a strict distinction between civilian and military usage somewhat fluid at times.
Military[]
The Military of Uruguay uses the Artigas's Cockade. This design is blue-white-blue with a red diagonal stripe.
Police usage[]
Meanwhile, the police uses a red-white-blue cockade design which is based on the Flag of the Treinta y Tres.
