The Catholic Register lists it as a biretta...see excerpt from recent article "During the consistory, each Cardinal knelt as the Pope placed on his head a red three-peaked hat, called a biretta. The Pope told them the colour was not only a sign of the cardinal's dignity, but also a visible reminder of their readiness to act with courage "even to the point of shedding your blood" in order to help spread the Christian faith."
It's called a galero (pl. galeri; L. galerum, pl. galera).
There is some confusion (see above), a Cardinal wears a red zuccehetto on his head most of the time, that's a small round skullcap. The biretta is the three peaked hat that a cleric used to wear from the entrance to the altar. A galero is a wide brimmed outside hat, and a mitre is the hat worn during services (over the zuccehetto) with the two tall peaks.
The skullcap worn by a cardinal, bishop or pope is called a zucchetto

The name is the same for the Pope, Cardinals and other clergy. White for the pope, Red (Scarlet) for Cardinals, Violet for Bishops and black for priests.
The tall, pointed hat of the Roman Catholic clergy is called a miter.

Currently there is no ACTIVE Roman Catholic Cardinal of England and Wales. Since the restoration of the faith in England and Wales the Archdiocese of Westminster has been the Primate Archdiocese's. Usually the Archbishop in time would receive the red-hat and become a cardinal. However, at the moment Archbishop Vincent Nichols still awaits that honour. Interestingly, England and Wales do have a retired Cardinal still alive, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor but is past the retirement age of 80 to still be active.
Catholic cardinals wear a biretta, and at Mass, they were a miter. They usually wear a zucchetto. Aside from a maker's label, these forms of head gear do not have lettering.
The defining costume color of a Roman Catholic Cardinal is scarlet red. The daily wear of a Cardinal is a cassock, a long button-front robe that is ordinarily black, except in the tropics where it may be white. The Cardinal's cassock is trimmed with red and worn with a broad red sash around the waist. More formal wear is the Choir Vestment or Choir Dress outfit, featuring a scarlet red cassock, over which is worn a white lace-trimmed robe called a rochet, along with a scarlet red cape called a mozzeta, and a scarlet red hat (biretta) or cap.

The Episcopal Bishop's hat is called a miter. It is the same hat, miter, that a Roman Catholic Bishop wears. Along with the staff he carries, the miter symbolizes the Bishop's authority and position within the church. Otherwise, he (or she) is just a normal everyday person. Bishops do not wear the miter unless in preparation for official church business.
Yes, Archbishop Bernard Longley has a coat of arms. It features a shield divided into four quarters, each with different symbols representing various aspects of his personal and ecclesiastical identity. The coat of arms also includes a cardinal's hat signifying his rank as a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Hat Mystery was created in 1929.
Cardinals, sometimes called 'Princes of the Church,' are usually bishops or archbishops who have been granted an elevated status by the pope. They are responsible for electing a new pope after the death of a reigning pontiff. Most cardinals have additional duties, such as leading a diocese or archdiocese or running a department of the Roman Curia.
it means that they are running for Pope......i think, that was it. The Cardinals of the Catholic Church wear red because it is a symbol that they are ready to shed their blood (hence the color red) to defend their faith.
Biretta or, in some rare cases, a zucchetto may be worn. However, the zucchetto is more commonly worn by a bishop or cardinal.
