I've noticed something for a while now and Its been bugging me.

Every time gains a new power, something about his zanpakuto changes. Though, this should be obvious as a zanpakuto is a reflection of a shinigami's soul and power.

First, when gained hollow powers, he learned the black getsuga tenshou from his inner hollow. not to mention that his inner hollow is a part of his zanpakuto spirit.

Second, Ichigo's shinigami shihakusho and zanpakuto drastically changed when traces of his fullbring merged with his shinigami powers.

So I think that something else might change in ichigo's zanpakuto when he learns how to properly use his quincy powers. (That is if it ever gets repaired.)

Dat logic. She makes no sense.

Ichigo's zanpakto is just evolving in appearance as he grows stronger and more connected to it.

The most overlooked change in Ichigo's Zanpaktou is the size of the chain on the bottom as it seems to change depending what level Ichigo is at.

As I posted in another thread I think Ichigo might use his Quincy powers to repair his Zanpakuto somehow. I don't think it would be that different from the original but I think he would use the hilt and use something like Seele Schneider to repair it.
Another theory is based on the clove Ishida uses to form his bow where Ichigo could use that somehow to materialize the rest of his Zanpakuto (or repair it).
I don't know if it would have the same blueish glow but it's a high plausibility. Then it would resemble a lightsaber and I guess that would be kind of awesome too :)
With that said I'm not entirely confident in my Quincy knowledge to say it would work. It's only a theory....

Haha... Yeah, it's not something I'd like to see either. It's a good thing Ichigo would rather die than ware a cape.

I was was thinking along the lines where Uryu's appearance changes when he uses the 'Letzt Stil.' It transformed parts of the shihakusho he stole into a more quincy appearance.

Ichigo's shihakusho may change into a similar style once he can properly use his quincy powers

You got to admit thought it did look boss when Ichigo wore that cloak and how his shinigami robes were customized.

ichigo zanpaktou is himself , which is why he lost his powers after using FGT ......ichigo is not really a shinigami but attained shinigami powers then his zanpaktou broke then urahara put him in the pit ( that was just to get his hollow powers so he can be stonger but that fused with his shinigami power as well...) which is why he doesnt have a regular zanpaktou like everyone else has ...it's always in shika form but i dont think that's shikai that just his regular zanpaktou....after using FGT he lost both his shinigami powers and hollow powers. now he still has his quincy powers because those are his natural powers.....he was able to see dead people not because he was a shinigamii but because he is a quincy(naturally) but since he's half shinigami he's also able to obtain shinigam powers which he got in the begining and recently as well.
