SUPER SOLDIER COSTUME IN 'CAPTAIN AMERICA 2'

This is costume concept art for CAPTAIN AMERICA 2. They are dropping the sweet WWII (movie) costume and the kinda-lame Avengers costume, instead opting for the short lived "SUPER SOLDIER" costume he briefly wore in the comics. I did a nerdy post about that costume HERE.

I dig it, but we're losing something iconic and dynamic. However, this is the MOVIE version and atleast it looks cool. Hollwood tends to mess with shit and turn iconic costumes into garbage. So, cool??

Don't worry too much, Jim. There's rumors that he only wears that uniform on SHIELD missions and later in the movie, in order to confront Bucky/Winter Soldier, he breaks into the Smithsonian to get his WWII uniform back.

I've got a bit of a beef with the 'Super Soldier' costume in that it's an obvious 'homage' (or rip off of) to another non marvel Kirby and Simon creation the Fighting American which considering the legal animosity between Kirby's family and Marvel/Disney it feels morally wrong to now use it in the movies as well as the comics.
