Maybe Red + blue/black to stick with the Swadian colours or maybe a slightly darker Swadian symbol on the top right part of the chest piece?

Real nice one, Elmo, gj.
However, I'd love to see a decent heraldic. I do feel we're missing heraldic armours for commando. There is the Heraldic mail (50) and Heraldic Trans (72), the later crazy expensive for a tiny +2 update over regular Trans.
For non-heraldic in between we have: 60 strong marketplace armours (fantastic value for money) and Swadian Heavy Lamellar / Striped 68 strong, still very affordable. Then the price goes high for Trans.
So if we're talking about a Lagionnaire dedidcated armour, I do think it should be Trans level in strength and cheaper or similar cost and a bit stronger (72 perhaps). Like mentioned above, I'd like to see it heraldic.
As for original idea from Woodz, I am not sure if a dedicated Legionnaire armour should be light (means also weak, since making it strong and light looks off-balance to me). Surely, it could make Legio able to kite perhaps, but I have 2 remarks on that:
1. if a Legio should drop everything except throwing weapon and go kite, then we already have a perfect kiter - MP. I do not feel we need an infantry substitute...
2. what is so fine about Legio is that this is a very versatile character: can fight in melee with high success (if equipped with a decent 1H), can shield well (if equipped with a decent shield), can throw if behind cades and not shielding... If also brings good support item, Legio is very helpful for the team in a variety of ways. Why try to reprofile it? Job for infantry is just to stand ground IMHO.
PS. please, do correct if I missed some armour options.
