Arrow Season 7 Premiere: 6 Ups & 2 Downs From ‘Inmate 4587’

Ups...

6. The Return Of The Original Wild Dog Suit

This may seem like a relatively small point, but it shouldn't go unstated.

When Wild Dog himself, Rene Ramirez, was championing the new vigilante, he revealed just how far he was willing to go. As his former Team Arrow partner, Dinah Drake, was about to arrest the Green Arrow imposter, she and the SCPD were blindsided by another vigilante. As Dinah gazed up, she caught sight of her friend, dressed in his Wild Dog uniform.

The sight of him standing there as the smoke surrounded him was nothing short of awe-inspiring. But it wasn't just because Rene had resurrected his superheroic alter-ego. It was the fact that he wasn't sporting the armoured suit from last season. Instead, he was wearing his original costume.

Consisting of a nothing more than a hockey mask and jersey, Wild Dog's Season 5 uniform was just about as comic-accurate as The CW shows have ever gotten. The switch to a heavily-armoured suit the following year really stripped away his individuality as he just blended into the already-crowded lineup of armoured superheroes.

Hopefully the original suit's return is a sign that it will be sticking around this year.
