The Blue Coats were the Patriots and the Red Coats were the Loyalists/Regulars
No! George Washington was not a red coat he was a blue coat! Read some biographies about him and you'll see. Are you an Idiot?
The red piping comes from the Revolutionary War. At that time the US did not have money for uniforms. It was customary for Marines to take the uniforms of fallen British Troops (their red coats). This created a problem in that they would be mistaken as British forces. To prevent this from happening they would turn the coats inside out. The coats were lined with a dark blue liner and where all the different seems were the red would show thru. Hence the red piping along the seems of the Dress Blue Coat.
Neither, "red coats" were British soldiers stationed in the colonies. They wore red coats as part of their daily uniform hence the moniker "red coats", or "lobster-backs".

It stems from the time of the American Revolution. You have heard of the Red Coats and the Blue Coats I suppose. That represented the British in their red uniforms of the United Kingdom forces for King George. Then there were Federalists who had declared their independence from the British rule. They wore blue uniforms primarily. So the idea of Red Vs. Blue came along.

red represents red coats, blue represents bluish tea, and white represents biscuits.
