He might as well be wearing a red shirt and a stormtrooper helmet as far as I'm concerned.
As far as clan size goes, I suspect that that a combination of the canon tendency towards modern nuclear familes (i.e. 2.3 kids) * and a substantial fraction of the mothers being kunoichi (the 1 in 3 rule seems to be fairly consistent) means that clans won't be huge in their total numbers unless they've been around. So long-standing clans like the Hyuuga and Uchiba were probably around long before Konoha, which is only around 60 years old by my best guess.
So a typical minor clan would probably be 20 or so people spread over 3-4 generations, including those who married into the clan and children. Probably about half would be adults of effective age to be ninja and maybe half to two-thirds have the training. Call it 5-6 ninja, less casualties.
A major clan, with a couple more generations would probably be 3-4 times as large - the Hyuuga could easily number seventy or eighty with thirty to forty ninja by that rule although probably the number of casualties wuld keep this smaller.
* large familes as seen a hundred years ago would inflate clan sizes drastically.
