Heck, Watchmen and The Boys used some pretty colorful comic-accurate costumes. No one ever claimed they were kiddy.

Heck, Watchmen and The Boys used some pretty colorful comic-accurate costumes. No one ever claimed they were kiddy. Exactly. Don't forget the DC films (Justice League, Shazam, etc.) as well. The majority of MCU costumes are actually toned down and more grounded compared to some of these examples, but some people still call them "kiddie". Sony Spider-Man (prior to the MCU partnership) was also plenty colorful. Other than Green Goblin (Power Ranger) from the first film, nobody complained about things being too colorful.
It was pretty clear from the beginning that Fox never had complete faith in the material and seemed almost to be ashamed of some of the more fantastical aspects of the property. Hence the constant and overbearing grounding as well as the unnecessary costume bashing from several characters within the films.

The color and costumes should match the character personality.
At least that's how I would have done it.

They've done the black costumes before. The MCU costumes have he generally been good so I'd definitely like to see some comic accurate ones.

Well, my 2 cents:
They should do RESPECTFUL hybrids between "the uniforms" a-la FOX World and the colorful and iconic costumes of the 616 World. As simple as that.
Wolverine needs the mask this time.

No, there's no need to even make a reference to the Fox movies. What you want is a hybrid between comic costumes and realistic gear. The Foxmen costumes were neither comic accurate nor realistic, so they really have no place in the modern superhero movie world.

That's what I meant. Strike Force type. That said, the Fox uniforms were grounded because they were supposed to be "uniforms". And, from FIRST CLASS, we know that they are made of special protective tissue.

Its concept art I think. Does look video gamey but a higher def and detailed art would be better.

It's a generic and uninspired tactical uniform that completley shys away from the source material. Nothing more. With the MCU costumes, you can take the head and weapons away and still know which character you're looking at and they still come off as somewhat grounded and not too flamboyant. Bottom line - more MCU, way less Fox.

Wolverine should be sleeveless except for gloves. The problem with the X-men having a tactical look is that all of them don't need it. None of the women really need tactical gear and body armor. Jean can block and deflect anything coming at her. Also, with Storm, is a flyer. Wolverine doesn't need it. He's basically like the Hulk and uses it to fuel his rage. Would be cool to see Logan getting shot and they passively show bullets falling out of his healing skin while he's fighting. Don't even point it out.
The only X-man I think that would wear something tactical is Cyclops. It's in his character and he's probably the most vulnerable to getting hit. But, at the same time, it should be something light. Cyclops should be a martial artist, but not really all that flashy. I can see him like a mix of Captain America (fighting) and Iron Man (repulsor blasts).

Bottom line - more MCU, way less Fox. I understand your point of view, of course, but I must say that MCU ruined some characters from a visual standpoint anyway. Thor needed the helmet. You get aprox. 350 ways to make that helmet look cool and "grounded" on film, but they didn't care. Hawkeye's movie costume is just horrid and lifeless. The Hawkeye mask is iconic. Still, they dropped that. So stupid.
