"political uniforms?" Topic

This might be a shot in the dark, but does anyone have an example of a military/militia unit that adopted a uniform or part of a uniform with a political message? Prior to 1775? I've got Lord Dunmore's ex-slaves with their "Liberty to the Slave" sash, but I can think of few others. Anything from the Glorious Rev or the English Civil War?

With the English Civil War, political messages, if any, were on the Flags.

I've read somewhere that at the time of the ECW green was considered a revolutionary colour, just as red would become in later years. It had to do with the Spring, new life, change and rebirth. But the fact there were green coated regiments on both sides does tend to undermine this theory!
Update:
According to Wiki Sea Green ribbons were worn by the democratic radical Levellers of the 1640's.

Nice thought Glemgarry, The sea green ribbons were in remembrance of Rainsborough, and other regiments wore blue ribbons to express their loyalty to Fairfax.

During the ECW essexs army wore orange sashes, the royalists red/pink and the covenanters blue to show their allegiance.

Some of the foot of new castles army captured at yorkin 1644 had blue and red crosses sewn on to their coat sleeves, which the parliamentarians considered a Mark of catholoicism.

Most political message where carried on the Cornet(cavalry standard)they where usually in Latin.

It wasn't very common on infantry Colours in England.

The Scot both Covenantors and Royalist did put political and religious messages on there Colours.

The sea green ribbon for the Levellers is right.

There are recorded instances of both sides using field signs as there was no universal coat colours, paper or sprig of oak in there hat band was used.

I read the same thing about green for the ECW, I made up a unit of John Hampton (?) green coats, long since sold.

Supposedly, George Washington chose Blue and Buff as uniform colors because they were the colors of the
Whig party in Britain who were then the opposition party.

I understand a Welsh regiment insisted on marching under Tudor green and white stripes without a cross St George. Don't ask me where (note spelling) I read this.

Thanks all. Good info.
