They do offer multiple card designs at the moment (current and this new re-design)
SP03 has the current design but wants the new design so requesting a replacement should result in the new design (unless AMEX has old stock they are depleting). I've done something similar when Chase switched to touchless cards and mine weren't set to expire/be replaced for a while.
Personally, I don't use my physical AMEX Plat out in the world (either I use Apple Pay or I'm using it online) so don't really care either way. It is weird to take Platinum off the front but the OCD in me has always been annoyed that the word "Platinum" covers the logo
