One of the most exciting parts of new X-Men teams getting announced is the new costumes. While individual looks are great, some teams lean into a rebrand hard by giving everyone a new uniform.
We asked our artists this time to imagine a brand-new X-Men team, and what their group uniform would look like. The teams feature some A-listers and some deep cuts, and they did a lot of work to make the disparate characters look like a well-oiled machine. See what everyone came up with, and give them all a follow on social media!

Ka-Zar dead! Shanna the She-Devil on the run! Wolverine missing! Who can save the Savage Land from a wildly out of control Sabretooth and his new Wild Pack? Wildchild, Raze, Infestation, Feral and Thornn, Sauron and Stacy X are deadlier than ever under Sabretooth’s control.
Birdie has come to Beast for help stopping her former boss, who has declared the Savage Land his. Can Hank pull together a group of Savage X-Men to rival Sabretooth’s Wild Pack? Wolfsbane and her frenemy Catseye, Grizzly, Toad, Squirrel Girl and Reptil make up this motley crew on a mission to save the Savage Land.

Someone’s murdering Orchis’ Reavers before Mystique can. At Destiny’s behest, Raven recruits a group of mutants to solve the mystery and prove that change is possible for all mutantkind.
She’s joined by Nekra, the Ladies Mastermind, Hellion, Somnus and more!
My designs for the Superior X-Men are influenced by ’90s fashions from fighting games, with a purple, silver and pop-of-red color palette. I changed up the shape language for each design while staying true to the more timeless design elements of each character.

Dazzler Presents: THE FALLEN ANGELS
Legendary pop star Alison Blaire is moving into the artist development space. She has recruited the talents of four musically gifted women with visible mutations.
The Fallen Angels are a new kind of pop group for an all-new, all-different era.
Venus Dee Milo – lead vocalist/songwriter (former mercenary/socialite)
Rhapsody (Rachel Argosy) – music producer (violin virtuoso and sonic manipulator)
Nocturne (Talia Josephine “TJ” Wagner) choreographer/songwriter (adventurer and former Butt Monkey front woman)
Bling! (Roxanne “Roxy” Washington) – rapper/producer (jewel-skinned engineering genius and hip-hop royalty)
All four members of the group have colorful skin, so they highlight that by dressing in a limited black-and-white palette (with silver accents to honor their mentor Dazzler’s disco origins)

I love a classic crime movie where a group of rogues pulls off the ultimate job, so for my X-Men team, I put together a selection of skilled operatives for a 1960s heist with one target in mind: the richest mutant anywhere.
Layla Miller is our strategist, but what does she have to gain?
Alisa Tager (Cipher) is a master thief; she has her reasons.
Shilpa Khatri (Trinary) has always rebelled against the ultra wealthy, but does that extend to mutants?
But Adrienne Frost? Surely she can’t be trusted?
You’d better stay frosty.
