Yeah, other than the New-52 shoulder pads or the collar, the costume has remained the post-Rebirth version. Ethan Van Sciver actually said that when he was originally drawing Rebirth, he drew Hal with the pre-Rebirth costume, but Carlos Pacheco was slated to draw the first arc of the new monthly GL title following Rebirth, so he came up with the new design where the green portion didn't go down to his crotch. Hence they changed it to the new design while they were doing the colors for Rebirth.

I don't see how character designs changing as time goes by is violating them. Goes without saying that some artists end up doing bad character redesigns but it's also a given that the characters are not going to look exactly like they did six decades ago. To me, what "violates" these characters is crap like Emerald Twilight, not Hal's costume not resembling a leotard anymore.

Speaking of which, it always saddens me that neither Gil Kane nor John Broome lived to see Hal’s rebirth happened.
It just doesn't look like a onesie anymore, I don't see what's the big deal. I don't see them bringing back the old costume, despite what they've been doing with Superman and Batman recently.
Apparently I was wrong about my Parallax speculation earlier. Jim Cheung seems to be drawing good ol' Hal for Justice League.

What's your problem? Do you post here just to be a troll? If so, I think I'm going to ignore you from now on.
I'm more happy to see the real Hal in Justice League.
Everytime someone disagrees with you, you get personal and insulting. You even start with an icon, which I block in firefox, btw, which is aggressive and emotionally confrontational.
You said you don't see a problem with a massive change in the unifrom, but I do because it is not the iconic uniform of GL as conceived by its creator and it is not a minor change, like the floating lantern symbol or a move of the back lines. Gil Kane went through a lot of trouble over the costume for GL and I happen to think his disign should remain essentailly intact. That is not cause for you to be insulting. No one attacked you personally, or called you an idiot, or disrepected you in any way. I'm just explaining to you that changes over the design has a long history and Kane created the iconograghy of the character and defined it.
