OK it always helps to start with a strawman. Here's the draft specification with the two variations. Understand first may be pushing the envelope but it is well documented and undeniably SpecOps:

Shadow Trooper 501st Specs

At the very least, a 501st Republic Shadow Trooper consists of the following REQUIRED items:
- A full set of “professional quality” black and light black and/or grey trooper armor consistent with the licensed toys. Custom paint schemes/deviations from official LFL/licensee sources are NOT permitted or encouraged by the 501st Legion (see Customization Section)
- Black non-fabric Chelsea-style boots (texture-less calf-high laceless boots with conservative heel and no metal straps, buckles, or ornamental stitching).
- Black under suit (Under Armor, dive suit, etc)
- Black neck seal
- Black textureless jersey-style gloves with no visible logos, tags, extraneous straps, buckles or overly ornamental stitching.
- Black socks
One or more of the following blaster types (unless prohibited by either local law or venue organizers):
- One or a pair of standard Republic-issue Commander’s Pistol(s) w/ holster(s) (Stealth colors)
- A standard Republic-issue DC-15 blaster w/ black leather holster AND/OR
- A standard Republic-issue BFG (DC-15 long blaster, DC-17, etc.)

Customization – Hereby known as “custom”
-Ornamental customization (beyond the above described standards) is NOT condoned by the 501st and a “Custom” should not be worn at “official” 501st troops (unless previously authorized by their local GML).
-Berets approved as helmets off alternative, with appropriate Detachment approved insignia
-The TX Detachment permits “Custom” members within our internal forums with the express understanding that they can't be granted a 501st TX-ID without LMO approval.
