That's a great idea! With you, Dean and Drake (and anyone else I'm forgetting) we've got a damn good stable of artists here.
Who's up for the task? We could have Lash, Cru, Teeds and two others on our panel and you guys could be the artistic end.

Of all the redesigns, Angel is the best - basically because they did no designing, just ripped off Neal Adams' costume design for him sans halo.
Boomerang isn't too bad either.
Obviously they've never seen, read or heard anything about Zemo. Plus eugh is all I can say to that. I can't even say its better than the J'Onn one - its just as bad.
And I take it they were having a laugh with Galactus, huh?

I actually really liked the Aquaman redux. I've never liked the beard-and-long-hair version of the character. He seems more Unabomber than king. I like the Roman-esque stuff. Imagine it as coral or something instead of metal and it doesn't seem so bad.
Luke Cage was also a step in the right direction, though these guys apparently haven't seen him in Daredevil lately. Luke dropped the yellow shirt ages ago. Still, anything that makes him look like a baaaad motherf (shut yo mouth!) is a good idea.
I love the naval coat on Capt. Boomerang. Makes him seem more professional.
I agree that Zemo and MM were pretty ugh.
Angel's gloves were what really made that outfit for me.
And Galactus by Tom of Finland was just damn, damn funny.

If you look at the costume in the bottom RHS, you'll see the skin-tight swimming version. As the article says: "The costume... (changes) into royal robes, armor, or a superhero uniform as necessary". However, it's basically Tempest's outfit in blues instead of reds...

That's actually a suit that was used by Aquaman in one of his past series. I can't recall which one but it did see publication a few years back.

Thanks SoM! I remembered the look but couldn't for the life of me figure out where or when it appeared.

There's actually a story behind that Aquaman outfit, and why Tempest's outfit resembles it so much.
The Aquaman costume was designed by editor Neil Pozner for the miniseries that cover is from. Neil and Phil Jimenez were in a relationship up to the time of his death from AIDS. Phil redesigned Garth as Tempest for his mini-series, and based his new look on Pozner's design for Aquaman.
It's much more touching to hear Phil tell it; check out the lettercols in the TEMPEST mini.
