I know! Gohan looks better in purple/blue but I prefer the one from the Great Saiyaman arc and Tournament prep more than the Saiyan/Jinzo arc one.

BTW, why does it matter if Kuririn has an undershirt or not?
Either way, I thought Gohan always was better when he wasn't just a carbon copy of his dad. Obviously he's not that in personality, but I don't get the doppelganger clothing thing.

I preferred the look for him since it came with the boots, which all in all made me harken back to one of my favorite eras of the series.

I liked the look without the helmet, so during the fight with Dabura. When it was just the black part by itself I didn't think it was good.

I just don't understand the point of removing Gohan's bang. Why make a character look worse on purpose? It would legit take 5 seconds to add it, and he would look 100X better. Hopefully the animators shy away from Yamamuro's design sheets, as much as possible.

Maybe they want him to look more like a certain scared face bandit...

I don't understand the change either but I didn't get Trunks hair color changing for no reason.

Most likely to differentiate him form his ultimate state

Me too. Best outfit for Gohan by a long way. Getting it reduced to the all black outfit vs Dabra was pretty disappointing and not a good look for him.
My preferred alternative would be this alternate take on his start of Buu arc gi, which is blue instead of purple and basically an inversion of Goku's usual colours:

I woulda liked to see all new outfits for this arc. Gohan could have had a brand new gi instead of his old Goku one. also I wish Gohan had his single bang of hair, he looks off without it.

18's track suit is an unfortunate outfit choice. I really wish they'd given her something better, like a turtle hermit gi, who wouldn't want to see that?

and I would have liked to see Goku and Vegeta's outfits change all together, or perhaps incorporate bits of their RoF outfits and their classic outfits together. like if Goku had his RoF gi, but with his classic boots on and his kanji on the front and back instead of the Whis autograph.

as for Vegeta, I'd have liked to see him wear that darker navy Saiyan armour from the end of the Namek arc.

i know! I love Vegeta's Freeza saga armor!

What I want is for Gohan to wear the Purple/
Blueish gi from the World Tournament preparation. For Goku and Vegeta, RF outfits. For Kuririn, add the Blue undershirt for his turtle gi like in the Saiyan traning and Jinzo/Cell arc. Everybody else, I DONT CARE.

yeah I agree about giving Krillin his undershirt back, doesn't look quite right without it

I'm still annoyed that Vegeta wasn't wearing his Boo arc outfit for Battle of Gods and now his Cell arc outfit is his normal clothes for no reason, it just messes up the flow of his design as more of his armour comes off over time but now he just puts the top half armour back on. That's why I loved the Resurrection F costumes so much because it made it feel a bit newer and gave the arc its own identity just that little bit more, even though it still has Vegeta wearing armour for no reason...(honestly just put him in his Boo arc costume it makes more sense) I like Goku's Gi in that movie as well I wish they were using that for all of Super it just makes it feel newer it's hard to explain.

Also I wish Gohan was in the Great Saiyaman costume but that would just be a bonus cool thing, would be great though
