This is with a caveat; if adopted/feasible it can only work once player-made Companies are a feature IN-GAME. Whether that be the Company Tool linked to the game or some other feature.
This discussion started on the Company Tool Wishlist;
I'd like to pick up where we left by stating that on the front page of the game, in the "About the Game" section there is this:
When I said customization of uniforms I never meant being able to put whatever dress and funny hat together as you please and paint them a jolly color. But certainly being able to choose from a selection of contemporary uniforms, perhaps with an added option for matching a uniform with head wear and an optional additional embellishment (such as lace or a sleeve decoration of a certain color) would not be unfeasible.Uniforms and bodily features will all be customizable for other players to see as you march and fight in the lines of battle according to the tactics of the period.
It would, in my mind, be an excellent mixture between authentic and being forthcoming to the public playing the game.
