That's a pretty broad statement. Black Mage gear, while neat looking, isn't that iconic. Vivi's gear from FFIX is the more iconic Black Mage look for the series in my opinion. Regardless, paladin gear is almost always white, dragoon gear is almost always a dark violet/midnight blue. Plus, I'll use dragoon as an example because it's the class I know the most about, the drachenmail armor is essentially a religious artifact for the people of Ishgard. Being able to dye it just seems wrong from a lore standpoint. I'm all for dying anything you want as long as it isn't AF. For every class the AF is supposed to be an honor to have and it doesn't make much sense to me IC or OOC to just start slapping other colors on there. That's just me, but I wouldn't want to see it. Plus we already have the ability to stick a Free Company logo on the AF.
Dye whatever you want, but lets leave the iconic sets iconic. Don't ruin the classics. It's like turning Led Zeppelin's Kashmir into Puff Daddy's Come With Me. It might feel like an awesome new spin on something familiar and well-known at the time, but in the end it's pretty awful and everyone just kind of wishes it never happened.
Of course this is strictly my opinion, and people will disagree, but I'm just throwing it out there.
