Same here.
When I first started collecting comics as a wee lad in the early 70's, the main CW costume I would see would be the middle of the second row from the top on that above chart- a truly funky/cheezy look that never really resonated with me. (I think Chad is right in that this look would work a lot better in 3D than it does on the paper- it might even be a real eye catcher in three dimensions)
Anyway, inside the books would often be an ad for patches or stickers or whatnot of various DC characters using file art from all eras -way before the JG-L style sheets gave all DC marketing a standard house look. That's where I first caught a glimpse of the 40's era purple and green CW outfit- WOW! So classy, so sexy. So far removed from the tacky 70's aesthetics.
I know it came back later in the decade and stuck around through part of the 80's. Cut a little lower in front and a lot higher on the side but basically the same look.
I don't know how deep I will ever buy into this line, but this one definitely has my interest piqued prior to any reveal.
