The Flash is arguably the greatest legacy superhero, and that's not limited to their exploits. They've had some great costumes too! So which is your favorite classic Flash Family costume? For the purposes of this poll, I'm counting relatively small variations as being the same thing. For instance, the "Classic Barry/Wally" entry here includes not only the Barry costume depicted, but also the newer costume that Wally got in the 90's (either during the Messner-Loebs or the Waid run) which was shinier and a darker shade of red (and had some sort of performance upgrade I don't remember) because I believe that they are similar enough to be called the "same". I'm getting a bit lazy here and only only showing the 3 main costumes. If there's some lesser known Flash Family costume you like more, feel free to vote "other" and hopefully post a picture. 1. Jay Garrick 2. Classic Barry/Wally 3. Classic Kid Flash

I have to vote for the classic Barry/Wally. My all-time favorite superhero costume!

Classic Barry is classic but I've always loved the half and half of Kid Flash.

I voted Barry Allen. An issue of the Flash in 1983 was the first comic I ever bought with my own money (as in not money anyone gave to me that I used for comics) so I kind of felt obligated to vote for that.

Classic man 'cuz that iconic Barry/Wally suit has stood up to the decades with only minor tweaks along the way. Gotta give a shout to the Wally Kid Flash as well. Very stylish and sleek upon the comic page. I will say Jay Garrick in his hat & shirt has also aged well.

I agree that the three are all good designs that have stood the test of time.

Kid Flash’s costume is one of the best.

When I was a kid, I positively flipped over the updated Wally costume circa Flash #50 with the metallic gleam and white eyes.

For me, nothing can beat Jay's unique winged helmet and boots look.
However, I was tempted by Iris (Kid Flash) West's outfit from Kingdom Come.

I quite liked John Fox, the Flash from the future, during Waid's run... I voted for Jay, though, as there was always something about the look, when he'd turn up, in the Bronze Age. I think it is down to Barry's costume stylings being rather common among superhero looks, while Jay's was always rather unique. That was always one of the hooks to the JSA, for me; their costumes had a timeless and operatic quality to them, in the right hands, while modern artists tended to draw from Costumes R US.

Tough call between Kid Flash and Jay Garrick. And for that matter, the Barry Allen Flash costume is sharp, too, but I went with classic Kid Flash!
