I have been thinking about Vacuo's lack of uniforms...

What if the postwar movement in favour of peace, individuality and creativity was stronger there than in the other kingdoms?

Maybe because they were invaded by another kindom during said war so they suffered more oppression than the others? So the post-war movements went beyond naming and aimed to abolish anything that could give people a sense of "uniformity"...

Maybe that's why Sun was so shocked by Blake's childhood. Maybe in Vacuo discrimination against the faunus wasn't that strong because (assuming the war Ozpin spoke about was the Great War and took place before the Faunus War) Vacuo had a more pro-diversity society than the other kingdoms.
