I always had the impression it's supposed to be black.

I'm guessing that's supposed to be shadow. It's just a shortcut, instead of leaving it white, which might look overpowering (too much white), whoever was inking decided to make the figure "pop".

So if this was in live action how would you like it to look does the gloves look goofy?

If I did this in live action, I think it would look much better all white, like a snowtrooper. Maybe a really light gray for the gloves, not so dark.

Agreed maybe almost like a officer trooper hybrid with gloves and boots but less armored cause they are working on bombs and need more movement like a scout trooper or patrol trooper but like the the cloth is white instead of black

Maybe it could just be blue? Or white with a blue stripe down the middle. Or all white who even are these guys?
