I used to prefer the modern soldier look, but as time goes on I've come to prefer the classic look. I realize at it's core, Captain America's design was never meant to be anything close to a real soldier from his time period, but more embrace symbology. Buccaneer boots and gauntlets like an old time adventurer. Scalemail like a knight. A classic round shield in the age of guns. An eagles wings adorning his head like a winged helmet of a god.
He's closer to Columbia or Uncle Sam- a idealization of an idea. The look of all these classic heroic figures filtered through an American superhero.
Trying to interpret that as a soldier's gear can be cool, but it can end up feeling like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.He starts losing these grand elements that shouldn't be secondary but part of the point.
