Not going to happen, they specifically stated they wouldn't be giving stats to barding so you can have your chocobo look however you want.

Then again... We're getting a vanity system (no reason it can't also apply to 'bos) and I specifically remember the developers going "We're doing this so you can have your Chocobo tank even if you prefer it in WHM Barding!", and that decided to shit all over that concept with how you obtain the bardings...
