Fair, on the other hand, flavorfully they were always more B than any other non-green color, and while not black border legal, I would say that the un-squirrels at the very least set a design precedent. Plus, for those who DO allow Acornelia in Commander, making an entire subtheme of squirrels that for some reason veered off into a different color, and therefore was unplayable in her deck, would be infuriating. I was honestly pretty annoyed that they didn't make the first standard legal squirrel in forever white, because it wasn't really where they had ever been.
