The term "klassic" has been thrown around and used a number of times in different games to represent nostalgic looks from MK games past, usually with a tweak here or there. For example, Mileena's "klassic" look in MK9 is different from her "klassic" look in MKX. The PS Vita version of MK9 had "klassic" looks in that game that weren't featured in console version. And then you have old-schoolers like me who think of a character's very first appearance in a particular game when we hear the term "klassic".

The costume you described with the vented masks and rectangular shapes on the tabbards never existed in any MK game outside of the Playstation Vita version. They were meant to represent the looks of the characters in UMK3, but were not carbon copied and borrowed elements from other MK games. The vented "motocross" masks were a worn by the ninjas in part 2 (in UMK3, the masks were smooth and sculpted, not vented,) while the rectangular patterned tunic was the standard costume for the ninjas in part 3, with the quilt of course being the standard garb in MK 1 and 2.



Storm Collectibles ninja figures are largely based off the artwork for the "Klassic" ninja DLC skins for the console versions of MK9 with a few tweaks here and there. They were costumes that were stylized interpretations based on those character's appearances in the original Mortal Kombat games. The figures feature a hooded dogi to replicate the first game's look, but also come with vented mask accessories so they can be swapped out to replicate the looks of the ninjas in MK2. Here is a photo of Noob's "klassic" look, along with Smoke's, which was a free downloadable skin for MK9 during one of the game's numerous patches.



Going off of that artwork, along with the gif of the figure, the figure does indeed represent Noob's "klassic" look...one of them at least, with this one being from the console version of MK9.

"Klassic" looks are otherwise "klassic" in the eyes of the beholders...unless they are a true first appearance straight from the game from which they debuted.
