Steps to Reproduce:
Go to https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/<UUID> and replace "<UUID>" with the UUID of a player that has the said affected cape currently equipped.
Copy the value of "value", go to https://www.base64decode.org/, paste the value, and decode it.
Copy the "CAPE" URL value and open the link in a new tab.
Save the image and open it.
Take note as to whether or not some cape textures have white backgrounds instead of transparent backgrounds.
Observed Behavior:
Some capes have white backgrounds and some have transparent backgrounds.
Expected Behavior:
All capes would have transparent backgrounds.
This has no impact on the actual game, and since it doesn't impact resource pack authors (capes are uneditable), I wouldn't be surprised if mojang won't bother at all.
