Face Vs Heel: Bret 'The Hitman' Hart

10. Attire

Face:

As the hero he always relished the opportunity to be, 'The Hitman' turned '80s baiting into '90s cool. Wearing pink was seen as a villainous trait when The Hart Foundation donned the colours, but the vibrant shades bursting forth from the black helped Hart find his own take on the neon of the early-1990s and New Generation.

Never once was the scheme greeted with a sneer, or even the idea that he was choosing the traditional base coat of a baby girl's wardrobe. It never came up because it couldn't - anybody daring to bring it up were wrapped in knots for opening their stupid mouth.

Heel:

With an eye on every detail, Bret switched almost exclusively to his all-black ensemble when he turned heel in 1997. Always believing himself to be a favourite of the cowboys from knowing his Calgary audience well, he'd treat his tights like a ten-gallon hat.

Notes of pink were evident, but if you ever liked those glorious splashes of colours, it was Hart's job to take that exact emotion away. Skulls became more prominent too. What once just added to the iconography became more pronounced in line with his own festering rage.

Winner: Face
