Andre the Giant, at the very end of his career (and life) while wrestling in Mexico in 1992 wore a green and a red singlet which looks strange. Used to him in black or blue Is that old Andre vs Baby Yokozuna!?

Here are two of my favorite attires of Shawn and Bret. Both of which have finally been made in figure form in recent years: Bret wore the jacket at least a few more times that year, but I think that's it for the unique hot pink/orange stripe attire, which is from Survivor Series '96 against Austin. Shawn debuted this candy stripe gear in 1996 (in a tag match against Vader on Raw). He'd later bring it back in '97 for One Night Only against Bulldog, and then a new version of it came back again at the 2003 Rumble (different tights though - the back said his name instead of "Heartbreak Kid"). Figures are Basic 100 variant Shawn Michaels (1997 attire, 2003-based head mold) and the upcoming 2021 Elite Survivor Series set with Bret Hart based on SS 1996. Hopefully we get an Elite version of Shawn one day with the entrance gear and proper black outlines.

HBK wearing one of the greatest attires ever.......with Jose wearing a shirt he bought at Bincos discount store. That old Sweatsock ruins everything. Why did he have to put his ass in there and make himself a part of the game? I figure he wasn't really there. He was just the ghost of an elderly Mexican man who haunted various arenas.

Some interesting attires from this 1987 Bunkhouse Battle Royal if it counts, where "the wrestlers may wear anything they want". Which is odd since it implies there was usually a dress code while wrestling, clearly didn't apply to the likes of the Hillbillies! We get Lanny Poffo in a "suit of armour": Haku in a Chicago Bears t-shirt: (Tama was wearing a WM2 t-shirt behind him) And King-Kong Bundy wrestling in a black shirt, jeans, and a pair of Adidas:

I've always been obsessed with it haha. Great knowledge!

it gets a lot of love, but did HBK really wear blue outside of Summerslam 95? He wore this very similar attire; same sort of a turquoise: It's strange, Shawn never really wore straight blue colors outside of his early gear and in The Rockers. He seemed to actively avoid it. Even blue details were rare - the WM14 dX logo had it, the TX tights had it, but not many others did. EDIT: Some of his black '96 attires had it, too. HBK's mid 90s tights were SO DAMN GOOD. damn near all of them were a+

Vader full black masks from the late 80s and early 90s, plus black version of his more well-known style having been with mostly black/red and then mostly red: And Vader in Boy Meets World: (A couple of these seen in the old thread)

Can anyone find a pic of Roddy Piper shortly after he returned to WWE after filming They Live, where he wore red trunks with red knee and elbow pads? It was always strange to me that such an odd, short-lived attire was immortalized on his only Hasbro figure. I found the match!

I actually liked back when the Rock wrestled in a t-shirt, and pants. I know he was only wearing it to cover up his surgery scars, but that always seemed a cooler look than just prancing around in his underpants.

Shamrock in black trunks is a rare attire in its own right. He usually wore red at this time exclusively, then switched to exclusively blue and finally green. he wore black exclusively during the Winter of 97-98. He went from Red to Black back to Red, Blue then Green.

I am not sure if he ever wore black tights with a white mawashi, but there was a Hasbro action figure with this attire. That Hacksaw attire is kind of an oddity in its own right. I don't recall how long he wore it, but it also got a Hasbro figure (and recently, a Mattel one).
