I like it. It looks like the kind of armour a rebel would wear, being somewhat piecemeal and improvised, whereas the Legion armour with its flowing capes, plate armour, and rich red colouring looks like the kind of armour an imperial army would wear.
It is nice that the Legion armour has several grades of quality, ranging from padded leather armour with no helm, to full plate armour with a helm. I hope this is replicated in game and that there is also grades of quality in the rebel armour (because it would be stupid for the leader of the rebels, Ulfrc Stormcloak, to not be well armed and armoured).
The red/blue contrast is nice, and mirrors the contrast used in the English Civil War, although in that case the 'rebels' (Parliamentarians or roundheads) wore red, whilst the Royalists (or Cavaliers) wore blue. All in all it looks very promising and hopefully it is set up niely for some really good pitched battles between the two sides. I look forward to choosing sides and deciding the destiny of Skyrim!
