What a wonderful piece. I love this whole concept. I prefer the blue versions.

The blue seems to work a little better for me, mainly because Ben and Johnny stand out a bit more.

Agreed. blue for me. Boy I hope you run out of commissions more often (not that I don't like commissions too but I think this shows commissioners should leave more to your imagination), this is fun.

I can't decide between blue and yellow...I'd say use both and have them be green! :)

Seriously, there are pros and cons of either...the pros of yellow are covered I think, but the only con of yellow I can think of is that seeing Sue's blonde hair over it just seems wrong to me!

Not liking the blue as much, but the yellow is too X (and what color would the X-Men wear, unless this is a Marvel house uniform?).  Maybe red?  Would Johnny get lost if they were all the same color?

Definitely like the red out of all those shown.  And Johnny's alternate red costume, which I always liked, becomes the norm (more or less).

And here, again, is the black and white version, which, as noted in the X-Men thread, is said to have been Kirby's actual color choice, and which, I suppose, is about as close as this design allows to the black and white uniforms I put the team into. . .

I'll take those white uniforms over the "Future Foundation" outfits any day.

The team looks great as a whole with the red.

They'd be even closer if the highlights in the black were colored blue instead of gray--

But my favorite so far is the red version -- that look would have hooked me as a young reader, I think.
