“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
I like the t-shirt and jeans idea with a caveat that it lasts for a few weeks to a few months. Not long at all before he gets the standard.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
Supes wears the T-shirt and jeans on Casual Fridays.
I’d prefer Superman’s first costume to be in THIS T-shirt and jeans outfit:
I'll go with the traditional look. I consider the costume more aesthetic than something that reflects the character.
He should start out with the t shirt and jeans look, the Fleishers costume and then the classic.

This is exactly how I imagine Superman’s first outfit would be like before he dons the classic one:
I chose T-Shirt and Jeans (my head canon also leans towards being inclusive and tying each iteration to a phase in Superman's life).
I do remember in the S logo thread people seemed to be a fan of the circus strongman aspect, so I also wouldn't mind if someone wrote that into his origin and he literally grabbed a strongman suit while undercover.
I’m not sure why he’s ever move away from that t shirt & jeans look.
T-Shirt and jeans with the caveat that this is his uniform as Superboy and very early on as Superman. He'll have the classic suit in the future with the Legion.
A few years ago, there was this fan comic (well, more like an 'unofficial' comic - it was written and drawn by a professional), which is sort of a prequel to the Siegal/Shuster Superman stories...and the little bit of it that's online showed Clark literally being inspired by a circus strongman.
