What we know of the regiment's uniform comes from a entry in John Stevens' journal
The Lord Grand Prior's Regiment, thirteen companies
... Clothed in red lined white, all but the drums, who are blue with white and [? ] loops. The Grenadier's white and red loops, their caps with a flaming a city, and this motto. The fruits of Rebellion. The colonel's colours white, the other two with the same device and motto as the Grenadiers' caps.
Interpret that as you will.
In fact most of what we know of Jacobite uniforms comes from the entry made shortly before the Boyne, while the army was encamped. Before he could list more than a few the army got orders to move off again. A pity fate didn't allow more time for notes.
