I heard that in 1.16 pillagers can pick up and wear illager banners. So in 1.16, I went to a pillager outpost in creative and killed the captain. It dropped the banner alright but other pillagers didn't pick up the banner. I did the same thing to a patrol that was nearby and killed the captain, but none of the villagers picked up the banner to wear on their head. Last I went in my creative invotory and got a villager banner and dropped it and the pillagers picked it up and wore it on their head. So basically pillagers won't pick up villager banners that spawn naturally(outpost, outpost captains, patrol captains)but will pick up illager banners that players drop in the creative inventory.

This issue is caused by the the vanilla loot_tables\entities\pillager_captain_equipment.json and loot_tables\entities\vindicator_captain_equipment.json not being updated for the new behavior. In order to prevent pillagers from picking up and equipping non-illager banners, pillagers were enabled to pick up only banners with damage value 15, and illager banners from the creative inventory were given a damage value of 15. Naturally spawned captains' banners do not have that damage value code.
To fix, in those two files mentioned replace line 8
"name": "minecraft:banner",with
"name": "minecraft:banner:15",On the other hand, this may be intentional because the pillagers that pick up and wear banners do not become captains, i.e. they do not trigger bad omen and other patrol members do not follow them. So the proposed fix could be confusing in a survival context. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to trigger an event like promotion to captain on picking up or wearing a particular piece of equipment with the current entity components available.
I also note that vindicators and evokers have not been given the ability to pick up banners at all. I do not know if this is intentional or not. It is really not clear why pillagers alone were given the ability to pick up only illager banners from the creative inventory.
