The historic uniform of the Independence Dragons was established by the Brazilian Army and it is worn in the contemporary times. Inserted into the legislation by means of an Annex, it is subject to the general rules regarding uniforms as well as to its own, which are, in a way, and because of its characteristics of shared clothing, divergent and more permissive. This gives this uniform special features that, combined with diacritical and symbolic functions found within it, signal to a proper regime of visualities in the military environment. Moreover, the definition of a uniform can have different meanings according to the place from where it is seen. Thus, received by the Visual Culture Studies, this uniform can reveal itself without any fear, show its hidden faces and establish an open, frank and interdisciplinary dialog in order to suspend beliefs and to have a fair battle in the Arena.
