COSTUMES

Yellow and Brown-Red costume

First appeared in Daredevil #1
Originally designed by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, with a billy club holster. Also in issues #3 and #4, there was a hood on the back, to hold street clothes, but it was torn and removed from the costume. (Thanks to Joel Poirier for this info!).
Early issues had one 'D' on chest, then 'DD' later on.
Daredevil Yellow, the mini-series, revealed that the original material of the costume was made of Jack Murdock's boxing robe.
This costume lasted until issue #6, although it made a reappearance when Matt/Jack Batlin was having an identity crisis.

Red costume

First appeared in Daredevil #7
Wally Wood created this costume that most people know well. This costume also had a billy club holster. In early issues, it was shown that the horns on the costume were antennae that could pick up radiowaves. His billy club was also shown to have a retractable microphone, a minature tape recorder, wire cable, and a chamber for projectiles. Daredevil wore this costume from issues #7 until the Fall From Grace issues by Chichester and McDaniel.

Armoured Black costume

First appeared in Daredevil #319-#325
Designed by D.G.Chichester and Scott McDaniel, this costume had armour and billy clubs that attached to his forearm. The two clubs could be attached together to form a staff. This costume lasted until issue #344, where DD went back to his red costume, after this costume was torn to shreds.

'Flying Blind' costume

Appeared in Daredevil #376-379
This was the costume DD wore when he was undercover as Laurent Levasseur in France. He was unaware that he was Daredevil/Matt Murdock. A billy club holster was on his chest, rather than his leg like his red costume.

'Daredevil: Father' costume

Appeared in Daredevil: Father #3-4
To help in his battle against the Santerians, DD donned this costume, complete with motorbike.

"Shadowland" Daredevil

From the SHADOWLAND event in 2011, DD wore this costume as he led the Hand and fell under the influence of the Beast.

"Red Suit" Daredevil

Making its debut in DAREDEVIL V4 #14, Matt decided a change was needed in his new home of San Francisco.

Check out my SKETCHES section for a look of some of the designs Scott McDaniel did back in '93 for DD's new costume.

Manga Daredevil

As part of Marvel's Mangaverse, the Manga version of Daredevil made his debut in Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider-Clan #1. Writer Kaare Andrews provided this info when the first issue came out in Oct. 2002:
Let me introduce you to the version of Daredevil premiering in the first issue of Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider Clan with a couple of pics. The first is the original character designs by Skottie Young and the other is the cover for issue 2. Please note that Matt Murdock is a different design than what you see here. Who is this version of Daredevil? He's someone whose true love was taken away from him by dark and evil forces. He's been chasing these forces ever since, punishing himself for what happened and preventing the darkness from spreading in this world, at any cost. He's a pretty extreme character, both physically and emotionally.
Many thanks to Kaare Andrews for this sneak peek of this version of DD!
