Let's say that like Rocky or Adam I become a ranger of one color first (in their cases, black and red) and then after a power-up, I become a ranger of another color (in their cases, green and blue).
It would suck that I had to throw out my complete wardrobe that I coordinated with that first color and then have to buy a complete new wardrobe matching my new ranger color. And I would have to pay for it all out of my own pocket, because being a Power Ranger is essentially a volunteer position and Zordon probably doesn't pay for a new wardrobe.
Then again, I wonder if being a Power Ranger came with a brain modification that caused one to only have clothes matching the ranger color and subdued any attempt at buying clothes outside the ranger colors.

Tommy gave a nod to this in Dino Thunder when he said his closet had no black clothes.

See, how you get around this is exclusively buy grey clothes and have a multitude of different-colored accessories to go with them.

Going off-topic here. I met Johnny Yong Bosch at a con recently. Great guy. He signed my copy of Akira.

Did this happen in the Japanese Ranger shows, too? Or is it just an American thing?

It must absolutely suck living in Angel Grove, I'll tell you what.
Why even bother having buildings or any sort of infrastructure whatsoever? They're just gonna be knocked down by a giant pig monster or something.

The only thing in Sentai regarding that worth mentioning (at least from the 1970s - early 1990s shows I watched) is that the civilian identities of the rangers only had 1-3 regular sets of clothes that they wore throughout the season (or they just had a lot of identical clothes lying around). At least in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the rangers wardrobe changed every episode.

In Zyuranger, the show that spawned MMPR, they pretty much wore the same thing for almost the entire run, unless there was a reason for them not to. Depends on the show, but it isn't as strict as Zordon-era PR was. Take this for example: This is an iconic moment in Gosei Sentai Dairanger (where Tommy's white Ranger suit, Thunderzords and the monsters for season 2 came from). The Dairangers, without their powers, doing the roll call in civilian clothes (Impressive as the cast are matching the movements their respective stunt actors would normally be doing. They'd do similar things in later years too). Some of them have small bits of their Ranger colour in their clothes (Kazu having a yellow tie for example), but it's not as evident as it is in PR.

You know what really sucks about being a Power Rangers? Being a teenager and hanging out with Kimberly all day while wearing spandex. Man, then everybody knows your business.

Angel Grove is known for it's extensive empty warehouse district.

They should have given the monsters-of-the-week some "first US dub of Dragonball Z"-esque lines: "Too bad it's Sunday, those buildings would have been full tomorrow!" "Damn, I can see their parachutes, those pilots were lucky!" "Nothing like target practice on some empty buildings!"

The same pier that has a disproportionately high number of Japanese workers.
