Popis: We address some new issues concerning spontaneous symmetry breaking. We define classical Higgs fields for gauge-natural invariant Yang--Mills type Lagrangian field theories through the requirement of the existence of {\em canonical} covariant gauge-natural conserved quantities. As an illustrative example we consider the `gluon Lagrangian', i.e. a Yang--Mills Lagrangian on the $(1,1)$-order gauge-natural bundle of $SU(3)$-principal connections, and canonically define a `gluon' classical Higgs field through the split reductive structure induced by the kernel of the associated gauge-natural Jacobi morphism.
