Norms for the Granting of the Title of Minor Basilica
November 9, 1989
The rector of the basilica or the person in charge of it may wear in the exercise of his office — over the cassock or the religious habit and the surplice — a black mozetta [cape] with red piping, buttons, and button holes.
I saw a rector of the basilica wearing in accordance with mozzetta a biretta and zuchetto.
Biretta with crimson red piping and pompon
Pileolus (soli deo, zucchetto) with crimson red piping
The use of a piped biretta does not seam to be licit. Neither biretta nor soutane are mentioned in the decree. Both should therefore be of the colour fitting to the rank/order of the wearer not of the building he wears them in.
