1) Just like his codename, Thunderbird’s costume was inspired by his totem – the bird of thunder. It was a dark blue bodysuit with a large red eagle crest on his chest that spread down the inside of his legs. The shirt was very short sleeved with red tassels, just like the ones on his boots. He also wore gold wristbands, a gold belt with the eagle crest as a buckle, a red domino mask, and a red bandana with eagle feathers sticking out the back. [Giant-Size X-Men #1]
2) After his resurrection on Krakoa, John decided to ditch his original costume and design one for himself, with the help of the celebrity fashion designer Jumbo Carnation. Still containing elements of his original costume, he now wore turquoise, black, yellow and red, to symbolize strength and the power from within. The costume itself was a two-piece consisting of a hooded fur-lined jacket and pants. He augmented the look with yellow pouches, as well as brown kneepads and boots. [Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird #1]
