Making a Wild faction, of all things, but not even bothering to come up with a name at least a slight bit less unoriginal than "The Templar Order" really makes it seem like you've picked Wild just for the engagement rights of the ID.
Not a strong start.
So not a member of this faction, but I cant seem to understand your feedback. The point of this ID is for PVP. These guys are just starting out. Maybe they can use the ID not just for PVP but for RP. However some would say PVP is RP so there is that. Give them the benefit of the doubt. We need more Wild Factions other then Aoi.
Well, first of all the wild pawn ID is heavy nerfed compared to the wild ID. Secondly I remind the people that we are first of all a RP heavy faction unless we get directly engaged or at war with a faction. Secondly we go with the old ideology of the templars as purgers of the unholy or unworthy or simply those who do not believe in the same. We choose the crucifix in those colors to represent the wild and the pure. That's why it's silver and purple. Some people told me it might be a bit to much with the crucifix but this isn't something that couldn't be adapted or changed as we progress. If there ever should be an incident were you see one of us and he just starts to shoot without decent RP feel free to let us know here.
Ibn al-Qalanisi: "The Franks stormed the town and gained possession of it. A number of townsfolk fled to the sanctuary and a great host were killed. The Jews assembled in their synagogue, and the Franks burned it over their heads. The sanctuary was surrendered to them on guarantee of safety on 14 July of this year, and they destroyed the shrines and the tomb of Abraham."

That wasn't the Templar's ideology, the point of the Templars was the defense of Christian holy sites in Palestine, and as a matter of fact only like 10% of them were knights with much or most of the order playing civilian support roles to a degree or another.
Let's put it like this: you don't protect holy sites.

"Some people" have already told you the cross was a bad idea? Well at least it can't be said you didn't talk about it with others already.
Now, how does the cross represent "the wild and the pure"?
Maybe I'm sperging out as usual but people will ignore these guys because of the banality of their "iconography", which may be a shame because organizing Wild indis is something that some people feel should be done. You should already be able to tell the irony in some comments and boy is irony a terrible sign.
My advice: consider changing name and logo to something less banal and - may the guys on the server forgive me - get into the Wild Discord server to ask for feedback there from the other indi players.
I've been there myself, but I think the ID is either not the best choice, or the faction idea is not the best for wild pawns. Go BIS, couldnt hurt to have some variety behind the ID, and would bring in a midieval twist.
