Hi, the monochrome symbols were the original Kick Off icons of Breeze. 
The colored ones were added later and we got feedback to restore the 
previous ones.
Now we are trying to don't change things without a good point. I think 
that preferring the colored ones is just a matter of taste. So just 
downgrade the theme and save it on your home, eventually assigning a new 
name. Then you can upgrade everything but your preferred theme will be 
saved and available in System Settings.

Cheers,
