The biggest reason why it is there is to let people who make texture packs decide weather they want clothes to support the change or not. Also to not break texture packs

The leather and diamond armor have separate textures in the snapshot. They can be the same color but it will only look like diamond at first glance, because of the different texture of leather compared to the elegant design of the new diamond pieces. The color should only be a problem from a far distance or to people new to the game or unfamiliar with the update, but they will see the difference at some point.
I think the extra layer should be invisible in the default pack.
I don't care about armor dye all that much unless they add it for iron and diamond (Yes you can paint iron and maybe diamonds). All you need to turn a dye into a paint is some kind of binder or such. Dye + glass bottle + clay lump = paint.
One dye I would care about seeing is invisible so I can see my player skin through the armor.
Maybe they should just make the NBT tag work for all items, and not even bother with adding recipes so your adventure maps, etc, can still have fancy dyed armor.

Allocators are no longer the future, we have Hoppers now. I still like them, though.
Wait, so if the layer only exists for texturepack makers why couldn't they just.. leave it blank? I mean it would still be there, only empty. Texturepack makers could add their stuff on the bonus layer if they wanted.
Well at least there's a way to have different players start out equally while clearly on different teams for planned pvp battles, even if it does look bad now.
Dinnerbone/ Jeb could change his mind. While there is no evidence he will change his mind, there is nothing stating it will never change
That would just make the addition of the second layer redundant and reduce it to what I have done with the second layer in my texture pack. Which is making it part of the first layer.
There was never a problem with it looking like the other kinds of armour. Leather doesn't have shine on it like the other tiers, and has buttons on the front in the recent updates. It didn't need some ugly brown layers.
I agree with making the second layer transparent by default, it just makes more sense.
I feel Mojang have just been fixing things that aren't broken, recently...
Yeah, they need to work on the animals breeding but no baby spawning glitch and some other multiplayer ones.
That looks like crap. They made it look like blocky football gear.
I learned something today! football gear looks like the two layered leather armor, but supposedly more spherical!
I really don't know a thing about sports...
Anyways, I agree with you, I hope they change it back. I was hoping it would just be a test to see if it worked, but I'm doubtful now.

Honestly, I don't know much about sports. I've been thinking about playing Basket Ball in the winter, so I have to learn more about it if I have any chance to be on the team.
Why do you need confirmation? None of us are claiming that we know that this was the intention of whoever at Mojang added it when they did.
I am ninja'd far too often.
It will never support dye.
Praise be to Spode.
How do you know it will never support dye?

Nothing in that conversation suggests to me that dying armor will be removed.
Never is a definitive not supported by that tweet

It's actually nice, but I hope they make a way to dye this layer. This brown thing looks awful :/

Yeah, that armor is terrible. There need to be some changes made to it.
I said this. Two days later, my computer's motherboard melted down and I had to get a new one with Windows 8.
Irony in the first degree.
