After the release of the Star Tights for Independence Day 2014, I had an idea floating around my head for a new set of tights to both complement that set and the existing tights available in the game while providing a unique look. I finally managed to get my idea out of my head and into a form that might make sense. I am not sure if I managed to create something unique but I think it would be a great addition to the game.
Flag Tights Pack Contents:
Tricolor, Chevron, Saltire, Pall (Y Flag) and Cross Patterns for standard tights
Should be available in all categories Basic Tights and Skin is available
Should be able to use all detail options as per Basic Tights (further clarification below)
In addition each pattern should have available a detail option where the Channel 4 portion is slightly raised (as if a very thin band over tight base)
All tights use 3 or 4 color channels in an innovative manner to allow multiple symmetric and asymmetric configurations using the single pattern.
Note: While I have called it the 'Flag Tights' set, that is just a single idea for their use. I think the design with the combination of color use means they can be used for a much wider range of concepts.
Brilliantly presented and so simple to make for the devs. I know many people who have already expressed a want for these types of tights too. Make it so, Cryptic!
Yes, I am currently faking a tricolor flag for my French Superpatriot Legionnaire. I had to get pretty creative just to make up one of the more common flag types and would love to have it as a set of basic tights so I could still use the other layers and features. Great call eiledon.

Cheers AC, and yeah when I saw you in game in that outfit from afar I wondered if i had missed a costume set, but up close I saw and appreciated the effort you had put in to get the effect. It looked great however as you say the trick does limit you in what other costume parts you can use - no belt for example (or an extremely limited choice which don't fit your theme) - so hopefully if this gets implemented in some form then it will open up another avenue for classic tight wearing heros
I like this idea, We need a flag cape too... don't for get the cape :P
Honestly, many of the flags use the paterns provided by these tights can already be replicated via capes... however, I would love to see some flag theme capes too... and available in Full Cape, Mini-cape, & Foxbat Cape varians please... I'd love to get a Stars or Stripes mini-cape for Freedom Girl...
This is a very solid idea. If I was designing a champions-style costume system, this is exactly what I would be trying to achieve... maximum versatility with each option. I would also focus on keeping individual parts simple, but optimized for modularity.
Ah. Seems my post got deleted to oblivion in the Douple Forum Fiasco...
i guess i wrote something like: MORE TIGHTS!!!
Awesome and very cool stuff those are.
We do have a bit of suckiesh options for mixing/matching top/bottom pieces on Tights.

I'd love this costume set. If only because one of my characters, Paladin (back in CoX, he was called Redemption), wore tights with a cross pattern on it.
And of course the rest of them look like they'd also have great uses, so yeah signed etc.
Just a bump, with July 4th holiday on the horizon in a few months would be great if this was released for that holiday - either as cstore or some sort of earnable set.
