The Covert Tribe Mandalorians' references

We get a look at some new Mandalorians in the teaser for season 3

You are totally right! This new season will be a real treat! I noticed that some designs are part of Season 1's art. For instance, this shot from the trailer features 2 Mandalorians (#3 and 6B) we have seen before in the art (and the Lego set, t-shirts, etc.), though the jag eyes are missing on the orange helmet:

These ones look like new designs. One looks a bit like Sabine in the color scheme and the second image might be Kryze followers rather than Covert Mandalorians.

That shoulder in the first pic looks almost exactly like a Shoretrooper shoulder. Not sure what that implies but just found it interesting.

Here are shots from today's episode (s3ep3), if anyone needs a reference. There were some good shots on the armors, although most of the episode was particularly dull in my humble opinion. I count 17 Mandalorians in that last picture, but it's not the whole covert tribe, as there were more in the first episode.

Here are a few of the many shots of Mandalorians in episode 1, for reference.

those extra mandos look so cheap and badly put together, quite embarrassing
Some of it might be by design, as they are scattered remains that don't have all that much beskar and limited smithing facilities, but you are right. Disney always puts quantity before quality, so take it as a metaphor ;).
Just look at these poor kids:

Hi everyone,

Here are interesting connections between the numerous references and images concerning the Covert Tribe Mandalorians who appear in Episodes 1 and 3 of Season 1 of The Mandalorian.

I noticed many similarities in the depictions of a specific female Covert Mandalorian throughout different media, even though she did not clearly appear in the show. This lead me to believe that there was a clear template or reference material concerning these Mandalorians. As time passed, more and more evidence of this appeared, so I will try to link these to provide good source material for anyone interested.

First, here are 4 appearances of the same female Mandalorian. Although there are alterations in her garb, these definitely come from the same "template". These come from: Funko Pop, Lego, Card Trader App and a t-shirt featuring concept art.

Now she also appears in the Art of The Mandalorian, which really confirms that these media used the same concept art.

Following this design first is easier, because the helmet and colors are very consistent throughout the different representations. I think there are 7 or 9 other unnamed Covert Tribe Mandalorians that come from the same source material, but unfortunately, their representation varies a bit more.

A final confirmation finally dawned on me while rewatching the Covert Tribe scenes frame by frame. Here it is:

I will try to develop this further tomorrow, so I hope it can be useful.

She actually does appear. Briefly, and out of focus behind Din when returns with his Camtono of Beskar.

One of the drummers from the opening of episode 1 wore the 6B helmet and also showed up sitting behind Din during the campfire scene in episode 7.
