What's a cockade?
(käk ād')

A rosette or knot of ribbon originally used to decorate a hat; an insignia denoting one's military unit, support for a cause, or allegiance to a group or household.

The escort were two mounted patriots in red caps and tri-coloured cockades, armed with national muskets and sabres, who rode one on either side of [Darnay].

You know how when you're at a party, and you're hitting on someone, and then one guy cockblocks you? Well, when that guy has a few friends, and they set up a line between you and your target while the guy does his thing, that's a full-on blockade of cocks, or cockade.
