Oliver Queen aka the Arrow isn't the only one getting a wardrobe change. In "The Flash" season 2, the fastest man alive will also put on a new suit. Lead star Grant Gustin let fans have their first look at the new, definitely more comic book-accurate gear via his Instagram account.
Fans won't see drastic changes to the uniform, though. The key difference between the new one and the old is the insignia on his chest. Before, the costume had a gold lightning bolt over a red background. Now, the latter was converted to white.
This vital change is a nod to the comics as Barry's costume for season 2 looks more like what the superhero wears in the comic books. But it won't be the first time the Scarlet Speedster would wear the altered suit.
As per Slashfilm, Barry wore it back in season 1. In episode 17 titled "Tricksters," The Flash had the suit with the white background when he fought the Reverse Flash. Back at the WonderCon last April, showrunner Andrew Kreisberg said this was his favorite Easter egg that not many spotted.
Maya Mani, who made the new, leather-loving Green Arrow suit, was also the one who designed the costume for Barry in "The Flash" season 2. She will also be responsible for making the heroes and villains in "Legends of Tomorrow" look good while fighting.
In other related news, Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco Ramon in the series, revealed to Screenrant that his transition to superhero Vibe will happen immediately. The actor said that fans can expect to see "biological changes to sort of take effect, especially at the beginning of Season 2."
"The Flash" season 2 welcomes a whole host of characters including the original Flash, Jay Garrick; Patty Spivot; and Atom-Smasher. Fans will them all in action beginning Oct. 6.
