Altered photograph of the 3rd Marquess of Estella ('José Antonio') in the Falange blue shirt. Uniforms were adopted gradually—photographs taken at the founding ceremony of the Falange Española de las JONS in October 1933 do not show anyone wearing a uniform, but a picture of a meeting of the Junta Política a year later shows some (but not all) members in the official uniform.
During the Spanish Civil War it was used as one of the major emblems of the Nationalist faction. Following their victory in 1937, Falange became the sole legal party, being reorganized into the FET y de las JONS, and their yoke and arrows a main symbol of the Francoist regime, even being conferred as the Imperial Order of the Yoke and Arrows.
Falangism (Spanish: Falangismo) was the political ideology of two political parties in Spain that were known as the Falange, namely first the Falange Española de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (FE de las JONS) and afterwards the Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista (FET y de las JONS).

The motto was created by jonsist student Juan Aparicio López (he also created the motto Por la Patria, el Pan y la Justicia; "for the Homeland, for Bread and for Justice" and was also behind the adoption of the Yoke and the Arrows as symbol of the JONS as well as the red-black flag), [6] and was later adopted by Falange Española de las JONS ...
The Imperial Order of the Yoke and Arrows was established on 1 October 1937 by Francisco Franco during the second year of the Spanish Civil War. [2] The symbol of the yoke and arrows, known in Spanish as the yugo and flechas, was a symbol of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain during the late 15th and early 16th century, but was also used as a symbol of Falangism.

The colour blue was chosen for the uniforms in 1934 by the FE de las JONS because it was, according to José Antonio Primo de Rivera, "clear, whole, and proletarian," and is the colour typically worn by workers, as the Falange sought to gain support among the Spanish working class.
In February 1934, after poor results at the ballots in the 1933 election, José Antonio Primo de Rivera suggested a fusion of Falange Española with the Ramiro Ledesma's Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista, which was approved on 15 February. [5] The Falange Española de las JONS (FE de las JONS) was subsequently formed.
