I'm aware of what Cockrum did and that the X buckle didn't show up until much later.

The blue and yellow costume is traditionally known as the tiger stripe costume, it has nothing to do with the cheek stripes it's in reference to the black parts of his costume on the "shirt". So the original costume, Cockrum version with bat ears, and the 90's version are all tiger stripe but the mask is entirely different on the original and Cockrum with wider ears on the 90's versions.

I know which is why its not just known as the "90s" Costume...its from the 70s....
