Because I'm an obsessive fan who cares about this stuff, I made a chart tracking the different jumpsuits worn by Joel and Mike over the course of the series. Pretty interesting to note the trends. They really experimented with Joel's costume in season 2 before sticking with the maroon outfit debuting in 212. Conversely, Mike wore only that green jumpsuit in season 5 before switching it up pretty regularly in the later years. There doesn't seem to be much of a pattern so I wonder how they chose which jumpsuit for each episode. (And how does he eat and breathe??)

That's very clever!
Honestly, I really liked Joel's dark green jumpsuit the most (his teal one was nice looking, too). But Joel looks good in any color.
I was also personally a big fan of Mike's navy blue jumpsuit, but like Joel, I think he looks good in any color.

It's cool to see it all laid out like this. Nice work.
Next time someone talks to one of the guys on an AMA or Twitter or whatever, they should ask how the wardrobes were selected.

I'm surprised. Mike wore green a lot more than i assumed he did.

Thanks for this. I'd never seen the jumpsuit colors graphed out like this before. I'm surprised. Mike wrote green a lot more than i assumed he did. I had the opposite reaction, swearing he wore green a little more often than this. It's the color I most associate with Mike.

Hey, um, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the jumpsuit Mike wore in the movie was the same as the turquoise blue jumpsuit he wore starting in 606 - The Creeping Terror.
I only point it out because I noticed the chart seems to have the color marked differently.

I only point it out because I noticed the chart seems to have the color marked differently. I thought it was too, but I'm pretty sure it's different (and I'll get to why in a minute). It may be the same color, however, but because the movie uses a much brighter lighting setup than the later seasons of the show, it's hard to tell from screenshots if it's supposed the be the same shade. In the movie, his jumpsuit has a small Wisconsin patch on the right arm. Mike wore a similar patch on his green jumpsuit but I don't think either blue or teal ones ever had extra patches in the show. At first I thought it was added specifically for the movie and later removed, but there's photographic evidence on Tom's Temple of MST3K Stuff that the movie jumpsuit was still adorned with the WI patch well into the 8th season. See the last picture here: WI and cheese patches still attached. Mike wore the similar teal jumpsuit a lot in season 8 but never with any patches besides "M.NELSON" on the left breast. So I think they're different.

I think the Red Jumpsuit Joel wore from Season 2 to Mitchell changed in the 4th Season. I think it changed with Attack of the Giant Leeches. The pants used to go down to the ankles but the new red/maroon suit they went to Joel's kneecaps with a black knee pad. It was slightly different. If anyone wants to research this , be my guest
I also remember Season 3 Joel wore the teal in the opening segment of Mighty Jack and the second to last segment of Teenagers from Outer Space

Thanks for letting me know The things we discuss lol jumpsuits. I did like those teal, dark green suits a lot. I guess they went with red to match the song. But the 4th season that red/maroon jumpsuit was altered by Giant Leeches I believe !

Yeah, I noticed how later on the jumpsuit only went down to Joel's legs. Not only that (and maybe it's just the changing of lighting between episodes), but by the fourth season, the jumpsuit seemed to have brighten up a bit in color (seasons 2-half of 4, it seemed like the maroon jumpsuit was a little darker).

This is amazing! I've never noticed the difference in the shades of red and blue. I don't like it when Joel wears green. It just doesn't suit him.

I came here to check out the chart and I see that it has disappeared. Any chance it can be reposted?

It's probably because it was linked from another website that went down.
