Olympic Phryge mascot: A nod to the French Revolution
Tourists wait in long queues outside the official Paris 2024 boutique as they seek to get their hands on the triangular Olympic Phryge mascot. The official Olympic Phryge mascot is a nod to the Phrygian cap, an emblematic accessory of the French revolutionaries. Revived from Roman times, when freed slaves used to wear it, the revolutionaries adopted it as a testimony to their values of freedom and emancipation for both men and women.
