The term tricorn was use after the hats were out of fashion. The cocked
hats reigned about a 100 years.There were some variations to the hat.
French style, Fancy tricorn, Quaker and the English version which is
shown below

Found these words associated with the english version

At a toast in the Court of France they lifted their glasses
and one said: "I give you the King of France, and I will
call him the Sun; and I give you the King of England, and
call him the Moon"; and then turning to Ben Franklin, he
said: "What will you do for a toast, with the sun and moon
already engaged?" Franklin raised his glass, and said: "I
cannot give you the sun, or the moon, or the stars, nor
call my country such, but I give you the United States,
and call them Joshua, the son of Nun, who made the sun
and the moon and the stars to stand still as long as he
pleased." from "Modern Eloquence" Volume X, John
Morris and Company, Philadelphia, Copyright, 1900 by
the University Society.
