Jhin's Splash vs Loading In Differences?

I noticed this shortly after his released that Jhin splash art has him facing left (his right) with an orange-ish eye exposed http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Jhin_0.jpg

But his champion icon and the picture bar during loading in screen both have him facing right (his left) with a blue eye exposed https://gyazo.com/c0fbce3ac8a834c02d7826e1a9ebfcbe http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A8u35wcJjFE/VqAcPo7gYGI/AAAAAAAA3Ic/vo0tyf-oFh4/s1600/Jhin_0.jpg

NOTE: I grabbed the picture of Jhin's load in screen from surrender@20 and on there it has him with an orange eye, but I thought it was blue. Maybe I'm just remembering incorrectly. I'd play a game until I get a Jhin then grab a screenshot from there, but I have to go soon so I'd have to go back and edit it in if I do.

I don't think any other champion does this, so I'm assuming it's purposeful, but what is the purpose, exactly?
