Jim Lee has openly admitted this in the past (it's also openly known that the main reason why they eventually faded the t-shirt to red and "faded" the green gloves to blue later on was to deliberately distance the design from Robin after the fact). I'd argue that it still looks red in that picture (because it's supposed to be - that was from before the change to pink/blue), though I can acknowledge why looking at a scanned copy of a card that might itself be faded on a computer monitor could make it look pink, though. Zeus posted... Otherwise the color of the shorts, shoes, and gloves were depicted pretty inconsistently. They'd sometimes all be blue (including on cards produced after 91 (whether it's using art taken from the comics or original art) and therefore closer to Amalgam's 1996 run) Oh, I agree. Her costume did change often (and still does), which I think was partly to emphasis that she's a teenage girl and can't necessarily decide for herself what she wants to look like long-term, and partly because the artists drawing her couldn't necessarily agree on what they wanted her to look like (ie, the same reasons why Kitty Pryde kept changing costumes and code names) a decade earlier. But those were more changes over time. It wasn't really a case of, say, her gloves being green in one issue, blue the next, then green again (which would imply it was more of a colorist issue, which happened a lot in older comics), as much as it was incremental changes made as each new artist decided to interpret the character and her style differently (and with occasional breaks like when the X-Men all got matching uniforms for a while, or when there was an in-story reason why she would try to look different from her previous style). Her initial design was yellow/red/green, and was fairly consistent until they eventually made the shift to yellow/pink/blue deliberately. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:899835883] in A Geektivu...
