Concept artist Andy Poon has revealed an alternate design for Grant Gustin’s The Flash costume based on John Wesley Shipp’s suit.
While fans have seen Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen don different outfits on The Flash, a few of the Scarlet Speedster’s costumes never made it past the concept phase. However, Andy Poon has shared a concept illustration for an unused outfit that was based on the suit worn by John Wesley Shipp’s version of The Flash.
As Poon explains in the caption of his Instagram post, the concept illustration was for a new outfit to be worn by Grant Gustin in the fourth season of The Flash. Much like the John Wesley Shipp costume, the unused costume for The Flash season 4 would have shown “muscles suit definitions on the torso.”

Here is the official synopsis for the latest season of The Flash:
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive – The Flash. After thinking he and his wife Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) could finally enjoy being newlyweds, they discover their future daughter Nora West-Allen (Jessica Parker Kennedy), who is a speedster known as XS, travelled back in time to heroically fight by her father’s side and stop the one villain The Flash is destined to never defeat, the meta-serial killer Cicada (Chris Klein). The Flash and XS rely on the help of Team Flash, which includes super heroes Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer), master-detective Sherloque Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and The Flash’s adoptive father Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and his girlfriend Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet) to finally stop Cicada, save The Flash’s legacy, and discover the truth about the evil mastermind who’s pulling manipulative strings through time.
The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, and Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man
