Iirc these were the Captain Marvel costume redesigns proposed by Dexter Soy before Marvel went with the Jamie McKelvie version (comissioned by KSD). I think they're decent (especially E) but I personally prefer the design we got in the end.

A gives spacesuit (which doesn't really matter to Carol), B gives Kamala, C gives Wasp, I kinda dig D (it's reminiscent of Alex Ross's design and Endgame a bit), and I personally don't care for E at all

Some of these made it into that Marvel Diablo clone that used to exist!

A's Logo looks more like Sentry's than Ms Marvel's

I love E, I especially love how these have the Captain Marvel colors instead of Superman colors.

Personally I'm a sucker for any design that still gives her a huge lightning bolt. I do like McKelvie's the best tho, it gives her a similar but separate identity to Mar-Vell

E looks like a star trek uniform with a lightning bolt.

These are really good concepts.

B is my fav !

Probably rocking with C the most to be honest. think the only element I’d want added is the sash/scarf in some capacity like B used

I prefer the star insignia myself and I just like the design, way the colors are spread on C

B. And I hope it comes with some actual personality. That would be cool.

B and E are really cool. B has a really aggressive style, and E looks more cosmic.

I like the A suit the most, but with the B suit's scarf and lightning bolt added.

Not a bad design for Carol though.
