    I'm definitely team Rebirth suit, I'll go even further and say he maybe should've kept the blue color scheme in that mini he had.

    Also Wally has a great head of hair and he needs to let it flow.

    I'm also a huge fan of the Walter West costume. I would be more than OK if the design remained the same as the costume introduced in Flash #50, but have the gold replaced with silver.

    I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

Plus, the famous V belt. With time, and artists, the suit lost it's different texture (going as far as becoming made of the Spped Force), the darker tone, the larger chest symbol, the different boots and earpieces, and soon was distinguished from Barry's just by the hidden eyes and the V belt, and soon he was no longer hiding the eyes. Can you imagine anything different happening today with DC's much more lax editorial teams? That's why I think Wally needs his own, much more distinctivre from Barry's, Flash suit.
    This, precisely. ⬆

    I mean, look at Kyle/GL. Marz would have been fine with using the basic Corps/HJ suit, but editorial pushed for something new. Wally wore the "Barry suit" because they were nervous about the whole "replacement character" thing at all. Hell, he literally says when he dons it "I don't need my own identity any more"...

    Kind of ironic in light of how distinct Kyle's look was.
