The Olympic Phryge has the appearance and form of a Phrygian cap. As part of Paris 2024's ambition to demonstrate how sports can alter people's lives, the mascots will play an important role in spearheading a revolution through sports.
The Olympic Phryge is decorated in blue, white, and red, the colours of France's famous tricolour flag, with the golden Paris 2024 insignia inscribed on its chest.
The Phrygian caps, on which the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic mascots are based, have long been a symbol of independence in France. They are a popular reference for French people, both in the arts (as a metaphor for liberty) and as a symbol of the Republic in French institutions.

Phrygian caps can be seen atop the iconic figure Marianne's head at every town hall, as well as on common goods in France such as coins and stamps. They are also an international symbol of liberty, worn by liberated slaves in Roman times and depicted on various emblems in North and South America.
The Phrygian cap, often known as the Liberty Cap, has become one of the French Republic's symbols.
The motto of the Olympic and Paralympic Phryge is "Alone we go faster, but together we go further," which represents how the mascots and people of the world may improve each other by working together.
