So, the upcoming gifts for the Ascension release include a Men's/Women's Genolution Combat suit. These are the initially black combat suit that hasn't been released yet, and they do look quite nice, but the color scheme doesn't really match the color for Genolution.

The suits, visible here (m) and here (f), are black and white, with orange detailing along the body. Initially these suits may have been intended to have a SoCT name, as they're coming alongside the SoCT gifts and would fit, color-wise, but the scheme doesn't match when they change it to Genolution, an ex-Jove corp (now part of the SoCT) whose logo uses the same original colors as the rest of their assets.

Though it's more a personal preference, any Genolution item would make more sense to use a more green-based color, like you can see here and here (the Jove Corpses discovered in the Drifter Hive sites), as well as here (from the EVE Artbook) with some matching assets. You can also look to the old Jove ships for additional color context.

Though I doubt it'll happen in time before they're released, it would be simple enough to change the suits' material to make them match better with their namesake; either way, I'm sure everyone will be happy to get them on the 22nd, along with the other fun gifts.

Cheers~

Genolution was also in charge of all the Dust clones, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

I was wondering about that too. Didn't the art team talk to the lore team?
