The CW has released a new photo featuring the Season Two costume for The Flash — one that feels a little closer to the comic books, and was teased during the show’s first season.

There doesn’t appear to be much different between the Season One costume and the Season Two look, other than the white background field behind the lightning bolt.

That’s a change that will be welcome to many fans — but one we’ve seen before, as well. In the series premiere, a newspaper from the future showed The Flash wearing a costume closer to the comics, including the white circle. Later in the season, Cisco Ramon — who, of course, designs The Flash’s costume — saw the paper and liked the look…although he did worry for a moment about whether stealing his design from a future version of his design would bend some kind of temporal rule that he should be considering.

You can see the official photo below. Above, you can see an image taken when the costume was on display at Comic-Con International: San Diego, where The CW also announced a new name and costume for (Green) Arrow.

The Flash will return to The CW for Season 2 on Tuesday, October 6th at 8/7c.
