I'd argue that this is already the case by nature of the loyalty stores.
Faction gear can be fit with reduced skill investment and is much more affordable once you are in good standing with a faction.You will get ISK from selling excess LP unlike Dust, where the case could be made for small ISK payouts in FW.
Both aspects indirectly incentivize the use of faction themed fits over mixed ones and that's as far as this should go. Directly penalizing or boosting certain combinations, both of which amount to the same thing btw, dilute CCP's "full freedom of choice" mantra and don't quite fit into New Eden lore itself (see what I did there?  )

Are you aware that:
A: CCP Z's current plan is to remove AUR Gear entirely from the revenue stream.
B: CCP Z's current plan is to make Frames BPOs by default and part of character progression rather than a tradeable commodity.

The progression thing? Well... Let's say I've voiced my opinion in the sticky among other places.
I just mentioned these things because that's the current state of play and all we have to work with right now.

I can't see it actually happening because its basically turning down an opportunity to make some decent cash. Re A: League of Legends, DotA 2, Team Fortress 2 and Path of Exile are good examples of games that have completely abandoned any p2w ambitions and make a pretty penny not despite but because of it I'd say.
I would even go as far and say that EVE and Dust/Legion are prime candidates for vanity monetization due to their very (anti-)social nature. Seeing as ship custom. is shaping up to be thing in EVE it seemd CCP has finally caught onto it.
Re B: Yeah, I don't think it's really needed/helpful either.
Be that as it may. We have to see what he ends up doing. I just mentioned these because that's the extent of what we know and we'll have to assume that that's what's happening until further notice. Result would be that your updated idea would amount to a fancy faction skin that you can sell (even for AUR as far as I understood CCP Zs concept)
