In all the years of WoWhead, nobody else cared to comment on this.
Until now.
Hopefully they let us mog simple white vendor items like this soon after it's available, instead of requiring stats only. A lot of people, myself included, are going to want simple looking weapons depending on their sets they've made. They don't get any simpler looking than these vendor whites, and they don't look half bad either.
