In DC's New 52 reboot Jay is a resident of the alternate Earth 2. This is his costume there:

What do you think?
3. A touch over-designed, but not bad.
1. Hideous.
Silver AND gold? Go home DC, you're drunk. That helmet is terrible as well. I do like the asymmetrical placement of the bolt, but the other two elements just make this horrendous.
2, and that's being generous. If you look at the pic on the left, the base elements have potential, but as 'Mato said, it a bit over designed, and other than the color scheme, there really isn't anything there that defines it as being a costume that would be worn by Jay Garrick.
It kind of looks like DC recycled an old "throw away" Flash costume (http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/jace.html), and did so poorly.
3, though I almost went with a 2.
It's a decent modern recreation of Jay's classic costume, but oddly I don't really notice that unless I look closely. The other thing about it is it only really works as a younger person's costume. I can't see the older Jay wearing that. Luckily I believe the Earth 2 Jay is young.
The helmet, is less silly, but still ridiculous. And the arm guards wit the gold bands and the silver plate seems too much.
Solid 3 for me. It's a cool look, but I hate those armbands lol. And ya current Earth 2 Jay is young, so this look works for him (for the most part).
1: Wow, that is hideous! Ohh my gosh, that is just a confusing mess. It's only barely recognizable as related to Jay. You've got conflicting colors, weird layout choices, and more. It looks like something that belongs in a 1950s space comic rather than a modern superhero book.
