It's called reasonable deduction. Velvet was an unplanned character therefore she was never meant to be on a team. The assumption was that all other teams had already been planned out so for Velvet to suddenly be given a team must mean they made them on the fly. There's also the fact that CFVY's character allusions have been the most impossible to pin down since they don't seem to be based in tales or lore of any kind, but more likely on real people or perhaps even food which was originally a joke idea but people seem to be taking it seriously. And no, Neopolitan is not an allusion to ice cream. It may have inspired her name, but she alludes to a character... then again, maybe she alludes to Soften (Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo).

Of course, with the later reveal that Neptune was originally designed for another team, this assumption does kind of seem heavy-handed without confirmation from Monty.
