	The Sons of the Phoenix wear off-white power armor, apparently to display their purity. Which is funny because off-white implies stained puri-oh right. The right arm and shoulder and left knee are painted violet, and their chest insignia and shoulder trim are gold. Company markings, unit designations, and specialty insignias are all gold. The squad specialty marking is displayed on the right shoulder, and the company number is displayed as a Roman numeral on either the left knee or inside the squad marking. A smaller company specialty marking is also displayed on the left knee beside the company number.		The Sons of the Phoenix wear off-white power armor, apparently to display their purity.

	Curiously, their sergeants and lieutenants have had their helmet markings switched around; Sons of the Phoenix lieutenants wear solid red helmets, while the sergeants wear white helmets with a red stripe.

	Alternatively, the Sons of the Phoenix are a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Suns Phoenix Suns]. In some of their best seasons in the early 90s, the team used home uniforms that resembled the Sons of the Phoenix: White with purple and orange (gold/candle flames) trim. But most of the [[Games Workshop]] writers are Britbongers and thus probably not big fans of Charles Barkley, so yeah it's probably just a Fulgrim reference.
