The creation of Jaune could have led to the creation of the statue that we see today in replacement of the more uh.. funny-shaped statue. Actually Monty did create him.But he was just main to be a simple side character with no real importance to the plot as was the rest of team JNPR.Then Miles and kerry upgarded JNPR to the main cast.

Yeah, Miles and Kerry are the ones who assembled a really big main cast. Monty's work is to give us a 5 minutes epic battle royale animation while the writers and the voice actors make sure that the characters really mean something to the public.

The series was supposed to be only RWBY but when JNPR was born, CRDL and Velvet came into the picture, then Penny and Sun showed up, they realized that everyone have a great potential to be part of the main cast so they decided to give everyone their own background, weapon, symbol and their role in the story.

That being said, the statue is or is not specific to Jaune but one thing is for sure, it's most likely that it's (Miles and Kerry)'s idea since it wasn't originally supposed to be there so I'm aiming for the statue to be related to Jaune or another character.
