Standard Uniform

[Bob Schroeck]

Members who are security level 30 or higher should dedicate one costume slot to the Legendary's standard uniform.
Note that this is for heroes who don't have as part of their origin a battlesuit or major modifications to the bodytype, like monstrous legs or large robotic gloves. For those, you can simply use the standard SG color replacement and not have to worry about dedicating a costume slot.
Individual tweaks and modifications are encouraged. If you have a particular "schtick" to your costume -- like Evangelia is the wings on the head and the wide curled up shoulder bits -- then keep that and change the rest. If you shoot eyebeams from a visor that you always wear on every costume, regardless of design, then leave that in.
As a general guideline, when designing variants, always try to keep in mind -- the center is blue, the outside is yellow. In other words. Torso and upper legs/arms blue with hands and feet as yellow. Anything that follows that general rule is going to look approximately right.
Key to descriptions:
Color grid is 10 across, 16 Vertical. Anytime there is a reference the color grid, it is given in coordinates starting from the left to right, then top to bottom. For instance, if an element says:
Color: 7/4 (Yellow)
Then that means that you count 7 over from the left, and 4 down to find find a shade of Yellow there.
Costume pieces and patterns are referred to by their names.

As hard as she tried, she could not give up her very, very, tight shorts.

I just made Kobalt-60's new Great Lakes Legendary suit. I'm so stylin'!
The radioactive green hair just clashes with everything, though.

Well, since Shizuru has been "Appropriating" enhancements down to half of the bin, She decided to change a few things with the costume and added the parts of the holiday wear.


Remember to re-blend your arm and leg coloring to make sure it just doesn't look wierd.

Proposing a slight change to the male version of the Legendary Uniform. How about utilizing the Long sleeved variant of the same jacket and pinstripes on the leggings?

While it looks nice, I gotta say that I prefer the tapered gold look myself.

Can you define "tapered gold" for me? I'm not 100% sure what you mean.-Logan

Since it's been pointed out that the original reference image links are broken, here's a new set.

[Fetch]

This is Velvet Vision. Modled her costume based on The Legendary uniform.

Won a costume contest with her. Was hoping to join up with your SG, but I never seem to run into any of you when I'm on with her.

It's ok though. I've joined another SG on Virtue, with another toon.

Perhaps you've heard of them: The Danger Rangers.

[Logan Darklighter]

Hey there! Join "The Legendary" global channel, we talk on that quite a bit at all hours. If we're on our alts or over redside, then one of us
can get free and invite you then.

I don't think "The Legendary" global has any restrictions right now. So it should be easy to join.

Edit: Oh and that's a great costume!

[Bob Schroeck]

Hey, Fetch, welcome to the Forums! And Logan is giving you the best advice there -- join our channel. There's almost always someone there who can switch over and invite you if they're not already playing a Legendary member.

Come to think of it, if you're going to be playing tonight (8/29/08) at 7 PM-ish eastern time, I think we can guarantee a whole slew of Legendary folk will be online.

Is this gonna meet uniform specs?

Uniform specs are really loose. So long as you have the colors, you're pretty much set. The Jacket is probably the most common piece to use, though
I'll let one of the leader folk say what's what.

Um, well, we really haven't been insisting on the uniform for a year or more, best as I can figure. Ought to have it, yes. Get kicked if you don't? No.

As for the specific costume... given those conditions, yes, as far as I'm concerned it works. After all, Beach Baby uses an abbreviated wetsuit for her
"team uniform".

[Sofaspud]

i'll note that in the past year it's become much easier to keep a uniform handy without taking up one of your slots, as well. Dunno about the rest of
you, but all of my Legendary characters have a uniform, but only one of them that I can think of (Katy) actually has it assigned to a slot. The rest?

Well, let's just say they have to pick up their dry cleaning at Icon.

I went so far as to use the right colors... >.> but that's about all anyone'll get outta me. Haven't been warned or nothing so methinks a bit
of individuality is just fine.

[dark seraph]

Now that DS is part of the Legendary, I tried my hand at one.
 
no tights because that is Nightmare Fuel. 

And Neph's try, old costume with a twist. (I love how well the PPD boots work with just about anyting )
  

[Logan Darklighter]

I thought I might try my hand at interpreting the old Legendary Uniform into something compatible in Champions. So here they are. 

Even though there are some options from various costume packs that can be bought from the C-Store that IMO would make the uniforms look better, I stuck with costume options that are available to anyone with a silver account. I'm pretty sure there's no "lock-outs" on these outfits that would prevent a F2P account from making them. 

I left off capes as I assume that would be done to taste. Plus you can still look at the old COH pics above for a general idea of what colors we used on capes. 

I left the hands as non gloved this time. I thought it reduced complications. 

Obviously these are VERY optional. No one should be required to use a costume slot on one. But I thought it would be nice to have a template available should we have a gathering and wanted to "show the colors" as it were.

[Bob Schroeck]

Very nice.
