Who revised the french flag?

The royal government used many flags, the best known being a blue shield and yellow fleur-de-lis on a white background, or state flag. Early in the French Revolution, the Paris militia, which played a prominent role in the storming of the Bastille, wore a cockade of blue and red, the city's traditional colours. According to Lafayette, white, the "ancient French colour", was added to militia cockade to create a tricolour, or national, cockade.[1] This cockade became part of the uniform of the National Guard, which succeeded the militia and was commanded by Lafayette. The colours and design of the cockade are the basis of the Tricolour flag, adopted in 1790. A modified design by Jacques-Louis David was adopted in 1794. A solid white flag was used during the Bourbon restoration in 1815-30, but the tricolour has been used since.


What was the symbol for the french revolutionaries that later became the flag of France?

the cocarde (English 'cockade') was adopted as a rallying sign by revolutionaries. Cockades were popular at the time and the mayor of Paris presented the king Louis XVI, a blue and red cockade (the colours of the town) which the king put next to his white one. There are several different stories about the birth of that three-coloured cockade, which according to the French historian Bernard Coppens, existed days before the king's visit to the Pairs town hall.
