I’m fine with the look of Skyrim’s Legion armors but not for Skyrim. Sleeveless and skirts in Winterhold is just dumb. Should’ve made the Nordic Legions look Nordic themed, and left the super Roman stuff in Cyrodiil. 

But I will agree that the way it comes in Skyrim is bad for Skyrim lol but I have the sleeved imperials mod and I add a bear skin cloak from winter is coming and it actually looks like legion gear tailored for the cold. I’ll eventually get on my computer and take a screen shot for you

These are my favorite Imperial concept armors. I had a much longer written post, then the forum decided to nuke my comment and not restore it XD

Look at that absolute chad on the left.

These two images are for those awesome elaborate helmets. Much better for the officers than what we got in the game.

When it comes to Barbarian Legionaries, I think they should have taken cues from Divide Et Impera's depiction of the Rhineland Veteran Legion auxiliaries

In the context of Skyrim, that's what the legionaries were. Unless levied from staunchly Imperialized population, the Nordic legionaries should have looked Nordic! I'm still surprised nobody has modded in the old look.

The Red Diamond shouldn’t even be possible anymore. Funnily enough, this exact specific scenario (stubborn Legion officer with a Red Diamond on his helmet) was discussed before Skyrim came out:
 

"Short version: any attempt to draw the old red diamond would invariably end up failing.

Ex: A painter would paint it. The paint would set. The paint would crack and move. The final painting would be a 2D explosion. More Talos despair would set in.

Ex: Blacksmiths would forge the symbol. The metal would cool, be applied to an Imperial helmet. A brave legate would wear it. The diamond stayed on long enough to meet with a Dominion ambassador. Imperials would be all "See? Our faith in Talos is--" Legate's helmet would crack from the symbol, legate's head crushes in. More Talos despair. Dominion ambassador would smile and accept the surrender of whole legion."

Oh yeah I forgot about that. It's strange if you look at it as either Akatosh and/or Talos oversoul abandoning the Empire until you remember that Talos quite literally lamented that things had gotten too old and that it was time for new ways of thinking in Morrowind.

You know it's pretty bad when your gods are even hinting it's time to let old things die.

I think with Talos Red Diamond the issue it’s less about the empire dying and more about them abandoning him.

Bad order for sure. But representative power doesn’t mean much anyway if the system is rigged so the votes don’t matter. This just feels like stunting.

Yeah. Well I’m not inclined to care much anymore until the time comes so yeah
