Yes and no here ... WWII was a clear motif throughout her early years and the reason why her costume was distinctly American Flag in design, but she was always a foreigner. Hippolyte blessed her mission because the Amazons had similar ideals to America and wanted to fight against the Nazis and the Japanese male domination. Her costume was always meant to be a show of consolidarity, not a symbol of Americanism. Personally I think the stars are rather iconic to her now regardless of the tie back to the American flag, but I don't really see how the lack on this costume is hugely detrimental either.
Guys the Greeks long had used the eagle and the colors . In fated why not tied it to that. Eagle is Athena's as well for it means protection and inspire. Her colors are both Athena's and Aphrodite. Also there might be a reason for them shaping the Tiara. Marston's 3 L's

The owl is generally associated with Athena.
My problem with this line of thinking in general is that, even if the Amazons are a derivation of Greek culture (which in the New 52 is suspect), they have had 2000+ years beyond them to develop there own symbolism, customs, etc. At best the Amazons are no more Greek than modern Italians are Roman.

Athena as more than one symbol like all the other Greek gods . Also if they worship Athena and Aphrodite it would make sense if it was the case which Grant is doing . Owl is symbol for her being the goddess of wisdom not war. The Owl doesn't symbolize her her being the goddess of war as well just wisdom so of course another symbol is the eagle which symbolize it . The goddess of war symbol is eagle. Many keep forgetting more Greek gods are associated with many symbols it cross one another for example the Dove is Athena's for it means victory but for Aphrodite peace. So to say the only symbol for Owl is incorrect . Her symbols are the eagle, cats, owl, olive branch, Dove. Many gods have a few in common with her but with the other gods it means something different .
I think the amazons it's not to do with culture but religion they believe in them so they keep their symbols it has enough to do with Greek culture pre se . They just keep the symbols . Also why I said the eagle is for Athena as been been shown with the eagle as a symbol .

Then why did they release the photo with the sepia tones? Does it somehow make it look more grim and dark? And, until we see footage on a trailer or early movie bite released to the public, how do we know if the color scheme ain't exactly like the photo at the comic-con. Maybe Synder will film it in a darker format than usual.
So I guess what I am saying, until we see a trailer or actual photo that is not retouched, who is to say that the colors we saw with filters aren't going to be the actual colors on film.
There's the "edited to show on the Comic-Con screens" theory, and I also think they made a "Superman = blue; Wonder Woman = red; Batman = gray" kind of thing to show the trinity.
The first editing reducing the red filter is legit, no retouching. And if only by reducing the red channel the bottom became blue and the top remained red/brownish, then these are the colors.
We just need to know how much colorful it is. Not much, probably.
I don't know why they released it that way. But I do know someone who saw the bustier and skirt, sans the metallic bits (and I mentioned this before) and it is red and navy blue. The image I posted isn't changed, aside from the filter being removed. No color saturation was added. It came from DC Cinematic Universe online, for whatever that is worth. But I understand people are very interested in having much to complain and disagree about, so I'll leave it at that. Again.
It's not about 'deserve' it's about what you believe. And I believe in Love.
