Top 20 Coolest Power Rangers Outfits

When Jason, Zack, and Trini left for their new mission in outer space in the comics, they – along with their new ally, Kiya - were given a whole new set of powers as the Omega Ranger. The suits for this new team are more alchemic based – a medieval-styled flair with golden gauntlets for their morphers. The costumes are equal in design, each with a very nice blend of each Rangers’ respective colors, gold & dark grey. However, there's a clever little touch to make every suit unique – each helmet has a distinct stone on his/her helmet that symbolizes their respective element – earth, air, fire, and water. So wait, is this “Power Rangers” or “Avatar: The Last Airbender”?

Once Hasbro took the reins of the franchise, they brought with them some new innovations to the Ranger ensemble with Beast Morphers. Gone are the days of colorful spandex, now replaced with colorful biker leather –a material never previously used for the costumes. The helmets –each one resembling their respective animal spirits- also have metallic, colored visors that almost look like sunglasses –giving the Rangers a very secret agent-like vibe to go with their leathery new duds. However, there’s still one thing that doesn’t make sense to us – why call the Gold Ranger’s animal spirit a mantis when he’s clearly designed after a beetle?

While the actual “ninja” theme of Ninja Steel was toned down, the suits stood out in the flashiest of ways. Each Ranger’s helmet visor is modeled after their respective Ninja Power Star, and the Core Five members each come with a colorful sash worn outside the suit rather than embedded into it. However, taking the boldest fashion choice of the team is Levi, the Gold Ranger. As a country-western musician, his Ranger ensemble comes fitted with a cowboy hat-like helmet and poncho –alluding to the classic gunslingers of the old west. Couple that with the shogun-like Lion Fire Armor, and you have a stylish farewell to the Neo-Saban Era.

After a long journey through space, it’s time to return to Earth with a new team of Rangers assembled by the government – the Lightspeed Rescue team. While the colorful hazard-striped suits aren’t particularly exciting, this season brought with it two major innovations to the franchise costume-wise. The first being the retractable visors, which opened a whole new door to emoting without needing to take off their helmets. The second, and most notable, is the very first non-Sentai-based Ranger – the Titanium Ranger. With his gleaming silver suit and gold trims, stripes, and shoulder pads, he easily stands out among the other Rescue Rangers in the best ways.

Yes, even a season as dark as RPM feels incomplete without colorful spandex… err, I mean “NOT” spandex. Whatever you want to call it, the Ranger Operator Series suits are inspired by a unique blend of animals and vehicles. The helmets take inspiration from each Ranger’s respective zord animal, with embedded spinning wheels and turbines on the sides that rotate at a lightning-fast speed. The suits also embrace the vehicular aesthetic with straps along the torsos that vaguely resemble seatbelts and safety harnesses, along with wheels/gears on the gloves and boots that spin as fast as real tires –and can be handy in combat. Functional and uniquely designed… but are we REALLY sure it’s not spandex?

Dino Charge and Dino Super Charge saw a return to the franchise’s roots of dinosaur-themed rangers but brought a new sense of style to the legacy. For starters, with ten Rangers on one team, you have a bigger variety of colors –except, surprisingly, for a Yellow Ranger… unless you count Ivan, the Gold Ranger. In addition, their visors are modeled after their respective dino’s mouths, and their torsos are decorated with teeth like a sash –with at least one shoulder pad for added flare. Tyler’s T-Rex Super Charge mode also adds an extra zing with a Carnival-like aesthetic that is guaranteed to make the battle get wild.

Let’s jump back a bit in time to examine the Zeo Rangers, who are all decked out in your basic 80's punk band ensemble. They scaled back the complexity of the helmets preferring just a smooth egg-like head protector but with a twist: they have shapes for their visors. Each shape represents their ranger number by the number of sides they have. Get it, The Red Ranger is zeo Ranger 5 and his star has … ahh nevermind. All in all a striking ensemble sure to leave your enemies blinded by sheer awesome.

RPM showcased some interesting automobile-themed designs, but it wasn’t the first Power Rangers series to do so. In “Power Rangers Turbo”, we see the rangers ride around in souped up vehicles, sporting outfits that got overhauled for a race car design. Plenty of black trim and the helmets have a little additional design in chrome silver, just like actual cars. Perhaps the more controversial design choice was the inclusion of what looked like a high visibility reflector on the chests, something that worked in the Japanese series “CarRanger”.

By harnessing their animal spirits, the Jungle Fury Rangers are well armed to reflect their respective martial arts style and animal. The main trio is dressed aerodynamically with their unique feline stripes and spots, and no belts –just wait until you see them literally flying with built-in jets in Jungle Master Mode. Meanwhile, the Wolf Ranger has a very kickboxer-like motif with metallic wrist and ankle wraps, while the Rhino Ranger sports a Japanese Karate robe-like ensemble –complete with a literal black belt. The ones who really take the cake, however, are the Spirit Rangers. With their completely unique designs, they practically revolutionized the US-exclusive Ranger suit game.

This cosmic iteration of the Power Rangers picked up where Turbo left off, with the rangers now sporting some appropriate space suits. They use the same color pallet as the original series but with colour boxes along the front of their torso, like rank in the army. The 6th ranger also saw the first use of a silver outfit, and this style ditches the colored boxes in favour of... computer chips? They also have these weird orb things on their helmets which were features used in the show’s Japanese counterpart “Megaranger” to display their symbols. But here they’re basically sunroofs for your helmet.

As the Zordon era ends, a new chapter begins as we follow the Lost Galaxy Rangers through the deepest recesses of space. First, the elephant in the room – not everyone is crazy about the “Charlie Brown” stripes on the plain white torso for the main five Rangers. We admit it’s a little distracting, but the nicely-sculpted helmets make up for the rest of the suits’ plainness. Of course, the one who really steals the show costume-wise is the Magna Defender – fully protected in plated, majestic armor like the intergalactic knight that he is. Also, he gets extra bonus points for being the very first Ranger to don a cape. Capes are cool, enough said.

Not since “Mighty Morphin” has there been such a brazen disregard for the English language: Power Rangers Super-Mega-Force. But what's new here? Well the theme according to the title is totally unclear, but as for the outfits, they’re going for a pirate look. That means high top boots with folded rims, that means skull and crossbones on the chest, and that means popped collars for all. Oh and everyone gets a captain Jack Sparrow pea coat and dainty white gloves.

From day one Power Rangers had the whole dinosaur angle covered. But this series really drives the point home. You like dinosaurs? Well we've got em. They have stripes down the sides, dinosaur prints on the chest and gold trim all over. Their helmets are a lot like the originals but sleeker, more stream-lined. Though the standout design has to go to the White Ranger, with a terrifying red visor and a tooth-like black and white design, he’s definitely someone you don’t want to meet in a back alley.

This tenth iteration of Rangers remained faithful to the Super Sentai version, right down to the morphing sequence. This year’s ranger outfit comes complete with gold bands across the chest, and just like Zeo, said gold bars represent their ranger number. This time around white is the new pink although her skirt and collar retains some pink strips, no comment there . Also, animal helmets! That’s where the budget went: these helmets come with their own specific animal designs.

Now we're really onto something. These B-Squad suits were Tailor-made and form fitting like a superhero should have. As for the helmets they brought back the silver mouthpiece but omitted the weird lip molds. Half of the torso is now black and once again, they're all numbered! We also got the badass looking SWAT gear which gives the suits a military aesthetic. Oh and given the police theme of the show, the suits have flashing lights galore.

A lot of you might be surprised not to see this one as number one just by sheer popularity, but this isn’t a popularity contest: it’s a fashion show … with sparks and lasers. So let’s get into this. Crazy cool helmets with silver mouthpiece moulds, giant diamond shapes on the front, cool dinosaur designs on the top, what's not to like? Everyone gets a pair of knee high boots to facilitate ass kicking. But come on, we all wanted to be the Green Ranger as a kid with that sweet looking overshield. Don’t Lie.

Ninja storm blends the classic ranger attire with, you guessed it, ninjas. The helmet visors are shaped like the classic representation of a ninja, and they can even retract to reveal the rangers’ faces. However on top of the cool designs what makes this one stand out is that the team is actually formed from 2 different Ranger Teams, The Wind Rangers with the grey sleeves and leggings. And the Thunder Rangers, with gold shoulder pads and knee guards. And just like the original series the 6th Green Ranger brings back the gold overshield.

These outfits are a classic example of looking stylish while fighting. With a futuristic theme their visors are completely covered by a downward arrow shape, Contrary to popular belief however, the actors had no trouble seeing out of them as they’re actually tinted visors. And while other suits have incorporated their morphers into the suits in the past as subtly as a walkman, here, they fit like a stylish watch, which just so happens to blend well with silver bracers over the forearms. Kind of like Wonder Woman, but way cooler.

Say what you want about Samurai and Super Samurai, but what they lacked in writing, they made up for with their suits. Along with the slick, highlighted boots and robe-like torsos, the Rangers are decorated with visors modeled after Japanese kanji –modeled after each Ranger’s respective element. Should the need arise, one of the Rangers can go Super Samurai or Shark Attack Mode, which gifts them an elegant white or red two-tailed cloak with dazzling golden highlights. Even in the zord cockpits, the Rangers are well-dressed, with protective armor plating inspired by the 1995 Ranger Movie suits, and –occasionally- the heavily-decorated, all-powerful Shogun Mode… why couldn’t we see this mode in battle more often?

Fans swarmed the original list’s comments section about the Mystic Force costumes, and it’s easy to see why. The core five suits carry a refined wizardly motif with a perfect balance of white and color, helmet visors modeled after mythical creatures, and capes… capes are awesome; just ask Chip. Meanwhile, Solaris Knight and Wolf Warrior are heavily armored like the brave and noble knights they are, and the White Ranger carries the grace and authority of a high-level sorceress –especially with those shoulder pads. With an amazing blend of grand mysticism and multicolored combat, we may've kicked ourselves for not featuring the Mystic Rangers in the original list, but we're sure this top spot more than makes up for it.
