    I have that issue of BF. There's a green/blue outfit which I don't like at all. A red and yellow which has a jet pack and a brown and gold one that looks more bird-like.

    I love the red and black Tim outfit to be honest. Much more than the Adams designed one. Funny, when the Adams outfit was being discussed, I designed 3 outfits. one of which was very similar to the red/black. I wish I had a scanner to post it but unfortunately, it died a while back.

      I love the one where cape looks like it's attached to his arms and legs, that would never be a problem...he'd be more like a flying squirrel boy?

        Neal Adams also designed a new Robin outfit shortly after these were published, which Earth 2 Robin first loaned to Earth 1 Robin in an issue of Justice League, and then started wearing himself. Funny thing about Adams suit is it looks a heck of a lot like the bottom right hand one on the second page Tbolt put up. In its first appearance in said JL story, it also had "wings" like the picture to the left of the one I mentioned. Weird!

        The reason I wanted to look this issue up was a friend of mine was trying to convince me that the Lilli Ledy Robin suit was inspired by one of these drawings. It does look a lot like the one on the top right hand side of the first page. Still, I doubt Ledy intentionally copied it? What does everybody else think?

          Personally I really like both the Classic and the Tim Drake Robin costumes. As for the all red, it just seems like something is missing (the green duh) but seriously it's like the costume is lacking flow. Funny thought... it actually looks like a bad knock off toy with a really poor paint scheme. There I said it.
