We've all seen them over the decades...what "uniforms" do you all just not 'get' or contemplate why they are being worn in the first place? Mine are:
Cobra: -Dr. Mindbender: Looks like he is reliving his days as a model or former entertainer. I get it, you have good abs dude...but you have a butter face. -Storm Shadow: Ninja...got it. Secretive...got it. Hides in the shadows in a stark white uniform...huh??? G.I. Joe: -Quick Kick: Saves the Joe's from floating away in the frozen north (or south) and being killed by leopard seals while being shirtless, then the same outfit in the general public weapons at the ready. Shirts are sold for a reason -Scarlett: Either she is a major tease or she is consistently just coming out of a combat aerobics class. Are there others you all can think of?

Raptor and Crystal Ball. And definitely dr. Mind bender. And even spirit, to some degree.
Also, Gung Ho, somewhat. And in the comics they had him in the arctic with that outfit. I always hated how they showed the Joes in the cartoon always walking around with their uniforms on, like blowtorch. I understand they probably did it for the sake of recognition, but even as a kid I thought it was stupid.

^^^This^^^ I too get it, the cartoon was just a half hour commercial to sell the toys but even at age 7 I thought seeing Snowjob running around the jungle in the arctic gear was ludicrous!

Dr Mindbender was orginally going to be the interigator, Someone who instead of being a mad scientist, was basically the guy who beat the sh!t out of Joes until they cracked.
From that standpoint he was envisioned as being a tough guy & his outfit would make for sense - picture him in a hot dungen holding torture devices with Duke tied to a chair, Hasbro marketing got involved & chaged around the charactors & we got Sepentor's orgin story instead. |

I remember doing a double take while reading the comics and seeing Torpedo sitting on the back of the MOBAT during a battle on the streets of Washington D.C. while wearing his full scuba gear.
