Now this is still pretty deep into rumor territory, but many outlets are reporting quotes from people on the set of J.J. Abram’s upcoming Star Wars: VII reguarding the new look for the classic army of the Empire.

From Making Star Wars, these quotes:

1.)  have white helmets which flare out, which is weird but looks good. The eye is just one thin black strip, and it’s creepy.

2.)  Sadly I only got a proper look at the helmets. The flare out, okay, I can’t describe it other than they look like Vader’s helmet in that respect, which I love. Obviously made in his image or something like that, which is interesting and a very clever way of keeping his presence in these movies.

3.)  The thin eye strip was what got me, just looked creepy. Hope it looks the same on camera.

4.)  Well, the helmets I saw were white. Maybe they’ll be painted, though I think they would have been made with black plastic instead if they’re black. The story elements suggested there do chime with the sets I’ve seen; the Imperial installation, Tatooine, Hoth and a tree dwelling (personally hoping that’s Yavin IV).

And now we have these two images from Indie Revolver as well:
