While little to no background is ever given about what caused Cisco to get Barry a new design, it's safe to say that it was the result of the critical reception the season 5 costume received. Not only was the chin strap back, but the lightning bolt earpieces had now been replaced by short wing accents, getting it to resemble Barry's cowl from the comic books.
But seeing Barry’s new cowl without the chin strap became too distracting which is why it thankfully only survived one season.Īt the start of The Flash season 6, as the team began getting ready for the Crisis, Barry received another re-design for his costume and this time, the show got it right. Not only did they finally get the bodysuit's red color at the perfect shade, but the cowl got a fresh new look that took them closer to the comic design than ever. Since Nora ended up erasing herself from existence, it's possible that her altering the timeline caused the future Ryan in never having any involvement with making Barry a new suit in the future. Despite Ryan getting introduced during Crisis on Infinite Earths a season later, there are never any hints given that he was someone who could design costumes. Additionally, when Nora gave Barry the new suit, she revealed that Ryan Choi had actually made it in her timeline. The biggest upside to it was that The Flash had once again increased the shade of red as it was brighter than ever. While the bodysuit was no longer made out of leather, like the previous ones, the season 5 design never looked like it was completely done. The choice to remove the chin strap was a huge distraction when seeing Barry sporting the costume. Related: The Flash: DC Characters That Can Replace Elongated Man
