In my cohort (2. century), we have blue shields, blue tunics, wear imperial-helmets and closed boots.
But, if you look exactly on our soldiers, no one has the same equipment! The paint on our shields, and even the emblems are different, all tunics are in brighter or darker blue or from wool or linen, the helmets are of late gallic- or italic-style (Theilenhofen, Hebron, Carnuntum, Mainz, Augsburg and so on) and the closed boots show a wide variety.
My centurio dreams from a "CloneTrooper-Legion" in which each soldier look like the other, but i think, if you have a wide variety of uniformity, you can show the public even more (and each soldier can go a little bit his own way).
Thats what the public want to see i think, a difference in uniformity like the difference in the armys today.
