New Cosmetics for The Pig?

I know I am not the first one to whine about not having cosmetic options for the pig other than the prestige but I would still love it. I love playing the pig and having a new cosmetic even as simple as a black robe or leather gloves would be really neat.

The pig in the SAW franchise has taken many forms and had many users. For example John Kramer (Jigsaw) with his black and red robe. I know there is many licensing problems with this as the pig is not an original killer but maybe using cosmetics that are from the movies? I do not know about the legality of it and am just throwing out ideas.

Maybe a "Jigsaw robe" that could be like John's and be black and red as mentioned before? Another idea is a Hoffman pig. It could be a pure black robe with leather gloves, maybe this could be gender bent and Hoffman could actually be the pig when using this outfit. If any of you have already watched SAW 3D then you are aware that Hoffman allegedly died at the end. Whether or not Hoffman and or Gordon are brought back in the newer movies has yet to be seen but if Hoffman actually died then he could have been taken like Amanda by the Entity. Hoffman also has the same ruthlessness as Amanda and is even more so at times, murdering countless police officers just for being in the way. Also unlike Amanda he was not as attached to John so it fits his profile to be just like Amanda if not even more merciless.

Cosmetic items are always fun and this would be no exception. I, being a pig "main" would love to run around as Hoffman or even in just a black robe. Anyway, I don't know if this would even be possible; it is just nice to think about.

    If they did have Pig cosmetics, they would probably be inspired by the movies, at least some of them. However, because she's licenced they're not actually allowed to do anything with her that they haven't been given explicit permission to do. So far, all they have permission for is including her in the game, because they have to negotiate with the actual licence owners anything that makes them money. So they're allowed to sell her as a character (and presumably the franchise owners get some cut of the profits), but in order to sell cosmetics for Pig, Myers, Leatherface etc., there needs to be another round of negotiations with the licence owners. However, the good news is the devs have confirmed that they are in the process of negotiating with licence owners to get cosmetics for the licenced characters.
