Hey! I just bought Wizard's Jim Lee Millennium Edition and saw these Legion designs in the Sketchbook section -
Have these been published before? This is the first time I've seen them. And if they were done in 2003, why is "Phantom Girl," "Mon-El," "Lightning Lad," "Dream Girl," or for that matter "Element Lad" used and not their post-boot codenames. Does he know something we don't?

Unless I'm mistaken, Jim Lee has expressed interest in working on the Legion, but only the preboot Legion. Hence any designs he would make would be for them...

I really like the top Ultra Boy and Saturn Girl pics, and the bottom Karate Kid, Invisible Kid, and especialy Timber Wolf pics. The Dream Girl doesn't look that much different form her other looks. The rest are kinda bland, and I hate the Lighting Lad pic. The Sunboy and Mon-El pics look more like street clothes than costumes.

Maybe I just never warmed up to Lee's style, but I find these costumes hideous. (Though the Timber Wolf outfit has possibilities.)

I would have to agree with HWW. Although I won't use as strong a word as "hideous," I'll say for the most part I'm not impressed. None of these designs really blow me away. Timber Wolf's redesign is interesting, but why is he carry a staff? Does Lee miss drawing Gambit? Cos is too muscular and I don't like his facial structure.
Okay, now that I think about it, HWW is right on the ball. Those Lightning Lad and Sun Boy costumes ARE hideous. And I'm wondering who's wearing Saturn Girl's outfit because that sure ain't Imra!
The only re-design I'm really fascinated with is Element Lad's

P.S.-- Why's Dirk wearing a skirt? Is he Irish? :-D
And the Tinyas-- The first one's a nice updating of the Cockrum outfit. I know it's blasphemy, but the shorthair look is pretty hot to me... a nice update from the pigtails. But the SECond one... why put bellbottoms on her sleeves???
And I'd like to see Garth and Jan colored before passing judgment...

Miner, you hit the nail on the head with me. Why the damn bulky gloves and boots? the best by far in my opinion was Brin. Jo looked like steroid boy, and Mon looked like Cro-Magnon man crossed with Sebastain shaw of the xmen.

I find the designs of Element Lad and Timber Wolf very fascinating. I'm not completely sold on the 90s trend big boots, gloves, and accessories for the Legion...but if the costumes were to sway this way I wouldn't mind the Jan & Brin designs even for the postboot counterparts. That's not saying I WANT to see the trend happen, but...they're cool attempts.
I like the concept of P.G. with short hair...and Saturn Girl's costume is great...but as others have said, not on her. Imra wearing a skull cap (the first picture) just doesn't float well with me.
Most of the outfits that are variations/spoofs of the regular duds are very fascinating, like Jo's and Mon's, though as stated it's not the look I would want them to keep full-time.
