As a comic-book reader, I must contractually mention the most popular X-Man 2 times per year, or else I lose my card and blazer from the League Of Nerdery. As such, I have been thinking about the strange dichotomy of James Howlett’s uniform. In his original appearances, the character was shown as a consummate hunter in the Canadian wilderness who inexplicably wore a bright yellow uniform. Later appearances gave him the two-tone brown costume in which he became famous, a suit which says “actual wolverine” rather than “Michigan Wolverines! RAH! RAH! RAH!” Given the 40-plus year history of the character, though, fans of different time periods may have different ideas as to whether brown or yellow Logan is better and/or the “real” Wolverine, leading to today’s feral query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) would like to point out that “leather jacket and bare chest” is not, and probably never should have been an option, asking: Wolverine’s Costume: Brown or Yellow?

I’ve kind of never liked Wolvie’s costume. I prefer it when he changes it up and does something different.
I’m a brown and gold fan myself.
Shouldn’t that be brown or blue? There’s about as much yellow in both versions.
In any case, it’s brown. He’s just not a primary color kind of personality.
I always preferred brown.
