More likely its just meant to be symbolic not replicating an exact moment. They needed to communicate the Crisis and Hal. Hell Hal had a ring for the last bit of the Crisis and was back in uniform the second it was over and didn't find out about Barry's death (in a kind of underwhelming way honestly) till after Crisis so he WAS in his GL outfit when he learned of it. And its not as if the details of that period hadn't already been messed with by retcons by that point. Hal may never have gotten a full clean slate reboot... but oh boy has he had his past tempered with by writers. Geoff in particular ripped out big hunks of moment from the 80s stuff and made them impossible to happen with Rebirth, along with his stuff contradicting Hal's Specter run in big ways. And reboots of the Omega Men, twice over now I think, have flushed Hal's two adventures with them down the drain.
