According to a Cadet on the oh so very reliable Yik-Yak, we will be issued the new uniform as Plebes. Makes sense to me. They'll be standard issue in not too long.
You'll be much easier to spot as a plebe.
Here is a Glossary of Terms to help you learn West Point lingo: http://www.usma.edu/admissions/SitePages/Glossary.aspxFor the incoming Freshman do we receive Scorpion uniforms? Also will we live in the new dorms?

I just talked to my friend who is a Plebe at USMA, and he said that while the state of what uniform C/O 2020 will wear is still to be determined (will be notified when admissions sends out the packet of information), tan boots are authorized with either camouflage pattern (current vs. scorpion) as long as the matching undershirt and belt are worn accordingly.As a New Cadet during Beast you will be assigned to a company and live in whichever barracks that company is assigned to (they are not dorms). After Beast as a Plebe, you will scramble to a new company and live in whichever barracks that company is assigned to. Either of these times may include the oldest or the newest barracks, or something in between. After 1st semester you may scramble again - new company, new barracks, new roommates. Or you may not scramble until after Plebe year. My Yuk moved to a newly renovated barracks after Thanksgiving, and is on his 3rd set of roommates/barracks. If anything, expect change and expect it often.
I don't know what the scorpion uniform is but you will be issued a lot of uniforms and told when to wear each one.

There are already a handful of people wearing OCP and they no longer sell ACU on post. You guys may very well get ACU and OCP but don't worry about sticking out as plebes. After summer training most people will switch their torn up UCP for OCP.
