Dunno if go back to that is a good idea. That seems like a burned bridge.
But there are some thoughts. Marvel indeed has been so worried about make her Captain Marvel than little is know to Carol and the chance to have to see more of Carol in Life of Captain Marvel. Don't she have more famuly or friends who don't shoot lasers from their eyes? The family, the brothers than matters are not the ones she grew up with but the ones she received from space. Don't she have any newphew who could admire her in some way?
Maybe I can't see the whole picture.

Oh, ok LOL. The character also needs a city that isn't New York. What about Boston? It would help the character if they had a place of their own. Oh, and return to the black costume. The current costume makes her look like a mariachi/majorette depending on which hat you imagine her wearing LOL.

A Marvel superhero living in a city than isn't New York? Preposterous! Heresy!

As much as I loved it, I don't see going back to it or even a modified version -- especially since Kamala appropriate the embem. But Carol's Captain Marvel outfits have all been less than impressive. Way too utilitarian for a character who previously had a sense of style. Marvel has tried unsuccessfully to make Carol into something she is not. Like it or not, she is an offshoot of Mar-Vell and it's almost unbelievable the levels taken to separate Carol from his legacy. There was nothing wrong with Carol when she was portrayed as Ms. Marvel. Okay, the cutout belly uniform was way too early 70s, but once that was fixed, her outfit was fine. I am, however, okay with her being 'promoted' to Captain Marvel. It's the execution that's been lacking.
The only way to make a comic like that nowadays would be as one of those nostalgia comics set in the past. It wouldn't work in the modern setting.
Because the character for whom being militar was just a step in a life project was replaced by a character to whom being a militar was a life objetive.
Like make her mom a kree and call her Kal-El, sorry , Car-Ell. Subtle, really subtle. Car-Oll could had worked fine too, you know?
Alex Ross had a good idea. classic and slylish too. Hell, even in the later movies they had inclined to a more red central colored suit:
