Add Foreshadowing and that is exactly what it is.
I don't like the streak at all. Is either generic "bad boy" look, makes him look really old or like Jason Blood. There's not even an in-story reason for it. And before someone brings it, using the "Is for the Lazarus pit" it also means Jason is a balding red head.
Here's the other artwork by Nick Robles (Jason Todd beefcake sketch, as he calls it):
Well, that's the closest Jason will probably ever be to the Sandman universe. (Nick Robles is the artist of THE DREAMING: WAKING HOURS.)
Personally, I like the white streak but it shouldn't be created by the Lazarus Pit. So many people have bathed in the Pit and not one of them came out with a white streak. It would make no sense for Jason to be the only one.

Yeah, me too. "Woah" is a good description of my reaction.
But I'm still not a fan of the mouth helmet.
There's currently a #SixFanartsChallenge going on (Twitter, Instagram, etc.). You have probably seen that too.
Here's, for example, the artwork by Dan Mora:
Someone made a fanart of the Waffle House joke on Twitter (with Judd Winick).
I think it's cute that someone actually took the time to draw this.
Jason's current design has gone a long way.
At the beginning, there were a lot of mixed reactions and few fanarts. Nowadays a lot of people say that the design has grown on them and fanarts feel pretty balanced between classic and new design.
When it comes to fanart, there's generally some really good stuff out there. Here are two fanarts of the current design that I really like:
Bella Rachlin
Don Aguillo
And of course, the classic outfit:
Marc Lee
Otto Schmidt, one of my fave artist right now (the guy has range, his art is skilful, expressive, dynamic, clear, and damn if his colours aren't good too. You have to love what he creates, really) has posted his second take on the 6 fanarts challenge. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I do.

Talia there reminds me more of Lady Shiva, to be honest. The rest look really good though.
JJMK did it again. Always providing us with the best artworks.
Travis G Moore is also participating in the #SixFanartsChallenge.
Here's his version of Jason, or how I call it: Jensen Ackles as Jason Todd.
