The entire thing looks bad by today's standards, but I didn't mind it in the 90s. The armored gauntlets and boots are overkill. The mask is overly complicated as well. Also found it funny that Kyle -- who was not a jock/athlete when he found the ring looked so buff in costume. I always assumed he used the ring to pad the uniform to add fake musculature. Seemed like something Kyle would do.
By the time we got thru the depths of the Earth Angel plot with the Linda Danvers SUPERGIRL, the riot grrrrrl costume that followed was a welcome change from the standard cheerleader alien look.

Wally West's yellow and red costume, changing from the mini Flash suit he started out with.
That's one of the best.
A few of the Legionnaires from the 70s -- Lightning Lad (already mentioned). Light Lass, Star Boy, Colossal Boy, Timber Wolf, Shrinking Violet, Karate Kid. There were some other ones I loved (Phantom Girl, Duo Damsel, Element Lad) that probably haven't held up as well as the rest).
