A black Latin cross, surrounded by a two-ring Crown of Thorns, with the letters “C”, “R”, “I”, and “U” in the quadrants of the cross. This stands for Christus Rex, Imperator Universi, which means Christ the King, the Ruler of the Universe.

The Crown of Thorns is, of course, an obvious symbol of Christ the King, and devotion to it and the sufferings of it which Our Lord endured for our sake is central to the CCR. The cross and the letters speak for themselves.

The Seal (which can be used in any color) is used most frequently in print, where colors are often an issue, and anywhere a simple insignia is needed.

The Simple Arms of the CCR is a Greek cross, red, with a golden background, with a golden crown superimposed over its horizontal center and slightly below its vertical center.

The gold is, of course, the color of royalty, while the red is the color of blood; His Blood is, naturally, what redeemed us, and the source of one of His many claims to universal kingship. The crown itself has a cross in the center, for obvious reasons, along with two three-lobed symbols on either side, to symbolize the Holy Trinity. On either end is the visible half of a fleur-de-lis, another traditional symbol of just monarchy.

The Simple Arms are used whenever the Seal would be too simple, but the Full Arms are too complex. For example, on the sagum and on the vexilla, the Simple Arms are placed; they are readily recognizable even at a distance, but are still reasonably simple to create.

The Vexilla, or flag, of the CCR is the CCR's Simple Arms superimposed, centered horizontally and slightly above center vertically, on a dark blue field.

We have seen the symbolism of the Simple Arms already; in addition to this we have the blue field. Blue is, of course, the color of the Mother of God, who is our Queen just as Jesus Christ is our King. We acknowledge His Kingship as the source of her Queenship when we place the Simple Arms on this field.

The Vexilla is a display item, typically used only in meetings and processions. It is longer than it is wide, in distinction to the universal standard for state flags in the modern world. This was done deliberately, for two reasons: first, to hearken to the old Roman legionary banners, such as those to which the Banner of Christ was compared in the hymn Vexilla Regis prodeunt; and second, to demonstrate that while Christ is King over the world, He is not of the world, and thus His banner is fundamentally different.

A blue shield, divided into three parts by a broad golden line. On the left is the Crown of Thorns, an obvious symbol of the Kingship of Christ; on the right is the globe with the Cross atop it, an obvious symbol of His reign over the world; and on the bottom is a fasces, a traditional symbol of power and rule. In the center is a Greek cross, red, in a circle; a little below the center of this cross is a golden crown. Above and below the arms are banners which read, in total, Christus vincit Christus regnat Christus imperat, a traditional acclamation which means Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ is the ruler.

The CCR's sagum, or cloak, is the ceremonial garment of the CCR. It derives from an ancient line of military garments, symbolizing action and general militancy. However, it is not, for us, a military garment. We differ it from the traditional military version, the Roman sagum, by coloring it in blue (the color of Our Lady, Mother of God) rather than red, and we fasten it on our right shoulder, rather than our left (the left was formerly chosen to prevent interference with drawing a sword). This also puts the Simple Arms of the Confraternity over, or nearly over, the heart on the left side, providing an important reminder of our true loyalty and our aims.

In this case, a navy-blue woolen blanket has been repurposed as a cloak; the hemming shows where it is wrapped around and fastened on the left shoulder.

The CCR's rostripetasus, also known as a bycocket or chapeau à bec, is the ceremonial headgear of the CCR. It is noticeably different from most modern headgear, making it suitable for ceremonial purposes, and through its association with the Middle Ages and with Robin Hood it carries connotations of bravery, heroism, and loyalty to a true king who many believe to be absent and irrelevant but who nevertheless still remains. It is worn with a white cockade of some type (a feather, a ribbon, or something of that nature) on the left side.
