The Bolland covers on the original mini, I thought were quite cool and I loved the way Robin looked on them. I kinda think his vision sort of kicked-off the whole "new Robin look" thing that continues to this very day. Bolland made Robin look like a pissed-off 18 year old. The green slacks matured him into a "threat" catagory in the DCU.

You forgot the Red Robin gear, which is really menacing and cool. My favorite look for the character.

Always liked the Green, to me it captured the old essence, just by giving him a more updated look. Also added in a little darkness, which is totally needed if your partner is BATMAN.

+1. Not a fan of the new look.

AS I am a fan of Dick in the original costume I do tend to have all my art commissions and etc in the First Tim Drake costume with the Full green leggings. I dont really like the new Robin costume dunno the tim drake one was at least a sorta homage to the original and the new one is off on its own...

I'm always surprised why it took DC that many decades to update Robin's look.

The red/green look is fine but it's the bare legs and stupid shoes thing: isn't it REALLY cold to be out like that?

The Tim Drake look is practical: dull green leggings and a dark green cape and boots, to offset the red tunic.

You're forgetting about the indispensible Bat-Thermal-Underwear, BTU for short. The question actually did come up in an issue of Teen Titans years back. He explained all about the BTU then said, yeah, he was freezing.
