Thanks everyone for the continued compliments!

There's so much interesting trivia when you sit down and look over the history of these outfits. They all have so many repeating motifs, usually based off the Adventure and Cockrum eras. And it's interesting to see who ends up with more costume variations depending on the continuity.

oh yes ... and in order!
I love costume doodling as well and these are a fun excuse for me to really scrutinize and enjoy the different details other artists have put into their own designs and interpretations.
A big perk to taking on an overwhelming project like this is to have a handy resource to see all the different costumes a Legionnaire has worn. I enjoy that stuff so much when other sites do it for the X-Men and other heroes.

Don't forget Lu's yellow number she wore in the Pain Plague issue in the low numbers of SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES!

OCD all the way, then!
That's it for now, as I still have a few Luornus to finish and it's late. Thanks for the feedback everybody!
I have CDO. It's just like OCD, but the letters are in the correct order, darn it!

I definitely have plans to get to them, as well as the other future Legions glimpsed in the Adult Legion stories and the Dead Earth annuals. Probably once I exhaust the core Legionnaires I plan to start doing series of teams (like 1,000,000) and also going back and doing civilian clothes and more minor costume variations (the kind which are more artist to artist and less creative intent).

Yay! Now I'm totally wondering what Adventure Era "Deputy Gim" would look like with Magic Wars era side holster pocket thingie on him!

Gim has had some beautiful costumes, hasn't he? I particularly like #5 & 6 in the first row. It was Giffen who designed #6 from that era, I think. I loved his costumes then and during the early TMK run.
I really like his first suit, too. With a stand-up collar and a head piece in red or green, it would have been prefec. I think.
Very fun!

I believe Giffen designed both costumes, though I may be mistaken about #5. I do believe it was during the "New DC" phase around LSH #300 when Giffen was still on the title his first go.
I've always had a weird fondness for the Magic Wars costumes too. There's something about overly complicated outfits that I aesthetically love.
