Team Skins Templates and Chromas for All Pro Teams

I know skins take a load of work and I appreciate all that Riot does to produce quality content, which is part of the reason I thought of this. Someone joked (twitter, reddit, I don't remember) that Riot will need an SKT skins department to keep up with their plethora of championships.

But what if Riot actually made a "skin template" for team-themed skins? Have a dedicated model, animations, and particles, but let the textures be decided by which team the skin was for. Some of the profits could go toward those teams whose skin was purchased. The community has been sufficiently pleased with how all the world championship skins turned out, and Riot has the icons and color palette for all of the pro teams because of the base banners we see in pro matches.

Obviously this would make winning the championship less meaningful as far as earning a skin for a champ goes, so what if the champions got 1350 tier skins? Only do the changed particles for the championship skins, leave the rest as chroma options.

This would be an excellent way to take some of the burden off of Riot for paying players, or could give players that much more money to live on. 30k/yr is definitely not a small chunk of change, but it doesn't really lend itself to having spending money. For the amount of work that these pros put in, I think they deserve more, but I also know Riot doesn't have a blank check to pay players with. They are a company like any other, and have to run with profits in mind.
