The Silver/White Phoenix suit. The one he's wearing in the pic on my signature. Love that suit. Why? I think he suited the darker coloured suits best and in my all time fav pic of him with a fantastic smile he's wearing it.

The black phoenix that was used during the New Year's Eve show of 1976.

For me, the best suit by far is the Mexican Sundial. It is so gorgeous, so intricately done, the detail is amazing. (I wish I had one.) Other than the AFH suit, this is the one I associate the 70s Elvis with most. It wasn't on display last I was there in 1989, and I wish I had photos of it on display. It is that cool.(y)

My favorite is Short Fringe suit. Because it was so simple and Elvis looked really gorgeous in it.(y)
I think that his later jumpsuits looked to much decorated, but no matter what he wore, he always looked very wonderful and handsome.(y)

I like the simple jumpsuits from the early 70s the most...
So, my favorite is the Concha - suit..Elvis looked STUNNING in it, it suited him soooo good:clap:

My favorite one is the Chains jumpsuit. I think that Elvis looked so sexy in that one!! I've always liked to see Elvis in the more "plain" looking jumpsuits. I don't think that he needed all of those jewels and accessories... Elvis WAS the show!! And might I add that he put on one heck of a show!

Every day my choice can be different :doh:
I love the simplicity of the early suits from 1970/71
I love 1972 the best, I love all the porthole type Jumpsuits, eg Pyramid, Eyelet and Blue Nail
I have to say my least favourite is the Mexican Sundial... You don't see many photo's of Elvis wearing this suit from 1974 so i don't associate it as a 74 suit like the Dragon or Tiger suits! The Mexican Sundial personifys the last year of Elvis' life and lets be honest it wasn't his best year :'(

My favourite suit is the Concha from TTWII...I like the plain simple designs better than the over-elaborate later designs..and also its one of my first memories of seeing Elvis on TV whilst wearing that suit..after that I was hooked.

I like to keep it simple :D hehe so I really like the Chain, the Concha and the White Nail jumpsuits. He looked amazing in those! hehe Love them all :D :D :D

Either the "Blue Swirl" or the "Cobweb"
I wish there were more large color photos of the first and just more of the second suit!

We will surely have to disagree over this because some of the worst pictures I have ever seen are of Elvis in the Mexican Sundial :'( and they do personify 1977 for me and a lot of other people!
P.S. I have not questioned Elvis' singing ability!
