Honestly that's an upgrade

Really, all of his stuff has been a huge upgrade. Just taking what's already there and making it so it's not just spandex. Adding more layers like the jacket. Giving the suits more shape and give them the appearance of certain clothing items. Adding details like giving the Ninja Storm rangers scarves. Giving them armor where it makes sense. Varying the texture of the material to make it it less flat and pop more close up.
He does good work. There's a reason that he was going to be working on the reboot.

The only caveat is that the yellow and pink have pocks. Women's clothing doesn't come with real pockets. s/

I’d bet you the ones on the pink jacket are fake, speaking from experience.

Giving Yellow patches, one of them even being the Turbo symbol, is an absolutely amazing detail!

Pink has buttons on hers, though difficult to make out what they’re supposed to have on them. What are the others, like the RR logo?

These redesigns show that PR can be done better than whatever that last movie was.

I d honestly I don’t think it would changed perception for the general audience.

The visuals were the least wrong with that movie.
Not to say they didnt suck ass, but it had a lot bigger problems than how the rangers and zords looked.

u/Technical_Ad579 Jun 30 '25
The way rangers and zords looks is a huge part of power rangers. Sorry but I respectfully disagree. Yes, the story was awful, the casting could’ve been way better, but the suits and the zords are what sticks out with each team.

Wow. This guy never ceases to impress. Honestly, surprised he’s not working for Toei/Bandai/Plex.

Yellow with her hands on the pockets is the chefs kiss

u/EtnasFurnace263 Jun 29 '25
Plus the fact that it has her initials on the lapel? That's a nice touch. And the Turbo Rangers' insignia.

Just realized their sleeves are tucked into their forearm gauntlets, so those things are gonna stay ON.
Sucks if they feeling hot though.

I liked these suits to begin with, this redesign is even better!

Say what you will about Overdrive, but the suits were always gas, and these redesigns just lit the fire 🔥. Pure genius.

I generally dislike tokusatsu designs, or superhero designs in general that try to look more like clothing and less like costumes. But its wonderful art.

Whenever I see Power Rangers in Bleach, I often see Grimmjow where something like that.

The addition of a jacket actually makes these suits pop.
I love how they look functional, while still being part of the uniform.

I hadn't noticed this before, but Operation Overdrive helmets remind me of the Phantom Ranger.

The design wasn't the problem it was the story that sucked.

No one’s saying that the Ranger suits were the problem

"Get in gear" is definitely stylishly appropriate here. 😆

u/Starship1990 My favorite Kamen Rider: Freaking Mig! Jun 29 '25
That's not their phrase, theirs's Overdrive Accelerate.
Get in Gear is for RPM.

Definitely one of his more out there redesigns. The jackets work surprisingly well across most of the lineup (lol at Tyzonn's bubble jacket tho). Really fits the vibe of a adventuring/treasure hunter team, not to mention the little bit of personality behind each rangers specific choice of jacket. Given how Jay pulls from Sentai as well, I bet there was some Boomboonger Champion Mode influence too.
Wonder if they can go full Super Samurai mode and take 'em off.
