In times of Oribe's Presidency (1835-1838) there was a decree that made compulsory for military leaders, soldiers, policemen, government officers and citizens the use of a white ribbon called "Divisa Defensor de las Leyes" (Defender of the Law Motto).
The origin of the names of the parties could be found in the battle of Carpintería in 1836, where Oribe wore his white ribbon, and José Fructuoso Rivera's forces used a sky blue ribbon (using the color of the Uruguayan Cockade of that time or the other color commonly used in the Uruguayan flag).
