I'm of the opinion that the lesser known the character and/or the ones who have only had one look should be kept closer to their original designs (as far as it makes sense, i.e. Budo, Quick Kick and Spirit). Where a Rock n Roll could use either a helmet or ballcap, sweater or vest or brown shirt and still be recognizable, characters like Airborne, Topside, Hardball, etc. begin to lose their identities more easily.
Needless to say, all reinterpretations are up to you. But this is the first time I had to look at the name to know who it was.
Hmmm. I thought I'd managed to incorporate the predominant colours on Topside's original uniform (considering that I usually dial down saturated reds and oranges and turn them into brown and tan), but you might be onto something there. I might try upping the saturation on his vest a bit more and making the blue highlights on his gloves and webgear a bit more apparent.
