The credit goes to a friend who I will mention if given permission to do so.
For those of you starting out with Splatoon 3, here is another incentive to transferring your Splatoon 2 Save Data: The customization that you've set on Agent 3 in Octo Expansion will transfer over to Splatoon 3, where Agent 3 is promoted to Captain. This also presents a big problem, at least for now, because this is the ONLY current method to customizing the Captain of the Squidbeak Splatoon; otherwise, you'll get the preset female Captain/Agent 3.
There are some who opted to avoid transferring save data purely out of the desire to simply start fresh. There are others who haven't purchased the Octo Expansion or the NSO Expansion Pack and have already transferred their Splatoon 2 save data over to Splatoon 3. Finally, there are those who straight-up skipped Splatoon 2 or are brand new to the franchise. If you are any of these three, this problem will affect you.
Hopefully, Nintendo notices this issue and provides some sort of customization option for Agent 3/Captain, but if you want to fix this issue...there are a painful number of hoops you have to jump through. If you want to completely change Captain's appearance, you basically gotta delete your Splatoon 2 and 3 save data, or start a new file that you plan to use exclusively for the story.
Did anyone else run into this issue? Or is there anyone here already aware of this issue?

@ModdedInkling I wasn't aware. Are there any screenshots, links of agent 3 without the captain hat/theme in Splatoon 3?
Yeah, I had Octo Expansion, and did the data transfer. I assumed everyone's agent 3 had the captain hat, since that's how it showed in the Direct.
I could see nintendo sticking to the exclusivity. I was always deeply jealous of seeing the Japan exclusive white Eminence Jacket. And that NEVER came to other regions. https://splatoon.fandom.com/wiki/Milky_Eminence_Jacket I wonder if the Captain hat version unlocks upon completing the single player campaign? - perhaps not?
@WoomyNNYes
I don't believe so. You start the game straight off with Captain, and there seems to be no other instance where the Captain appears without the hat.

@ok1
I forgot to specify. By "Agent 3" I mean the Captain. The Captain was originally codenamed Agent 3 in Splatoon 1 and 2, before being promoted to the Captain of the Squidbeak Splatoon. I'm not talking about the playable character in Splatoon 3.
