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.
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.
This design is blue-white-blue with a red diagonal stripe.
Meanwhile, the police uses a red-white-blue cockade design which is based on the Flag of the Treinta y Tres.
