Why did JB change Wolverine's costume?

I always wondered,was it your choice to give Wolverine a new costume in X-MEN 139?And was there any meaning behind it, i.e. the "death" of Jean Grey maybe causing Wolverine to desire a fresh start and thus the new costume?

JB: I wanted to change Wolverine's duds from the first moment I set eyes on him. Yellow and blue? That's a football team, not a wild animal! And an AMERICAN football team, no less! So as soon as I could, I gave Wolverine the brown-on-brown costume. (I still remember Jim Lee telling me proudly that he had given Wolverine his "real" costume [the yellow and blue one] back. And I remember the long pause on the other end of the phone when I mentioned I was the one who had changed the costume.) (5/5/1998)


Jim lees Wolverine was the same one Cockrum and Byrne drew......Byrne in the 70s made the mask and Shoulder pads longer and broader.....so the JL 90s suit is the one from the 70s!!!!


AND JL saying giving the costume back only makes what Im saying right.....

The only thing I got from that is that Jim Lee wanted Wolverine to have the blue and yellow costume back. It makes no mention of any of the details that Shin has been pointing out.

Having said that, the 70's and 90's versions are essentially the same design, just with minor differences. But apparently Marvel groups them both together anyway, most likely because there aren't any significant changes compared to his other costumes (color scheme, mask/no mask, materials, etc).

Regardless, you should be well aware by now which costume this discussion and poll are about, so enough with splitting hairs. Move on.
