The current contest over at Project Rooftop (which ended yesterday) was to design a new costume for Captain America. It could be for anyone who’s held the title, so I went for a new outfit for Bucky Barnes, the original Cap’s sidekick and most recent shield bearer.

My attempt was something a bit “retro-superheroic”, with some influence from his old WW2 outfit. The cape is meant to be a nod to the costume original Cap Steve Rogers wore for a while when he went by Nomad. Something about Bucky following in Steve’s footsteps while also forging his own identity…

These Project Rooftop redesign contests are always fun – and one of these days I won’t wait till the last minute to come up with my entry.
