Palaka Vest of Aiming has a brown splat on it

[Bunboy69]

Is it just me, or does there seem something odd about the Palaka Vest of Aiming? I was taking a closer look at it today and I found this weird brown splat at the front that just does not match the overall aesthetic of the vest, and to be honest it just looks like they forgot to color it silver. At first I even thought it was a client-side bug, but apparently it is like this for everyone. Would be nice if they fixed this, it looks so odd.

The brown colour choice is odd and blends into the black part too much, but all of the vests have that bit of undyeable contrast colour.

For example, the casting version has red:

(not very zoomed in but it's the only pic I've got on hand)

Because the aiming version doesn't have the extra pattern up onto the collar, it's less clear that it's a recurring part of the design. It doesn't look very good on its own.

Though I have a feeling that possibly a few of them use red; I can't say with certainty that they come in other colours. Could be a mistake if that one should be red too.

Something else very odd about the aiming vest (and I think also striking, not sure about scouting) is that it has the back half of the collar but not the front half. I think it looks quite awkward, and have to wonder if they intended to switch off the entire collar piece but weren't looking closely and didn't realise the back is separate. I've been meaning to file it as a bug report.

Hmm yeah, that does look really unintentional. Even though the outfits do have some contrast color, the brown spot is lying over the undyable part, so makes me think it's an error. Maybe you should fill out a bug report OP?

I've dug a bit into the other Palaka vests, and both the caster, healing and fending vests have indeed a similar, but red detail at the front, but they also a symmetrical design and other details colored red, which makes it just fit into the design, unlike with the aiming vest. Also, I hadn't noticed the collar missing at the front but it still being there in the back? And now I cannot unsee it D: It indeed looks weird aswell!

I have made bug report about this issue, let's see what happens
