Did a quick check and didn't find any threads on this, so my apologies if this has been posted previously.  Also, my apology on the "suit" reference -- I know it should be "uniform," but the article uses the term "suit." 

Enjoy:

Very nicely researched.

Isn't it only a uniform when other people are wearing it, too?  So, the X-Men matching uniform eras. The unique sets of clothes are probably costumes, and a few of those are (Drive-By Truckers forgive me) just plain old outfits. 

That's a really neat page!  Thanks for sharing!

Isn't the "brown" costume wrong? shouldn't the mask be black?

••

Apparently they went with the Paul Smith version. He had a habit of occasionally rendering the mask as brown -- which is basically a literal interpretation of the "color not found in nature" of my design. The dark brown parts of Wolverine's costume I drew as black with brown high-lights, extending to solid black in the mask. Also on the boots.

Incidentally -- on the question of whether this is a "suit" or a "uniform", I find "costume" is perfectly acceptable. To my mind, there is only one character who wears a design uniquely his own yet should still be referred to as being in uniform, and that's Captain America.

The article overlooked the outfit worn in the "X-Men" movie sequels. There is a difference between the first and second films.

Edited to note: In fact, the outfit shown on that site for the first movie is actually the outfit for the second film.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I always liked the brown one the best, set him apart from all the other superheros who were in blue, red, yellow, black or green. Who else wore brown?

I can't think of a worse version of a superhero than "Noseless"
Wolverine.

Other than the sleeves, the Fang costume is my second favorite behind JB's design. That Fang costume would be totally bitchin' with no sleeves.
