HISTORY: In 1780, the military cockade system was changed from the officer's colors (red, gold and green) to black with a white center. France had entered the war against Britain in 1778 and France's cockade was white. Thus, as a symbol of the two nations' alliance, George Washington established that the American cockade would be an Alliance Cockade – black 2024 with a white center. Many of the French troops likewise wore an Alliance Cockade of white with a black center.
