    I think you got them all Brad, I can't think of another suit with red. You know, maybe he didn't like the Red Matador because it was all red or maybe it just didn't fit or feel right on him.

    I seen somewhere that elvis didn't like red so wonder why he and linda choose red for graceland and red on some of the jumpsuits?

    I think you're correct Diane. I believe the whole suite being red was too much for Elvis..imo..

    I think I prefer the red one I also love the white and blue suits he wore but I think red is nice as well...makes it more interesting than all white lol

    The Red and White Pinwheel aka Matador are one of my favourite designs, It is probably one of the most common designs of all Jumpsuits e.g.

    Black Fireworks 1971
    Black Pinwheel 1971
    Snowflake aka Spectrum 1971
    White Fireworks 1971
    White Pinwheel aka White Matador 1971
    Adonis 1972
    Black Butterfly 1972
    Blue Nail 1972
    Eyelet aka Porthole 1972
    Red Pinwheel aka Red Matador 1972
    Royal Blue Fireworks 1972
    White Pyramid 1972

    All the above Jumpsuits had the porthole/eyelet design on them, from what I can find the total appearances of all these suits is only 45 times! (as far as we know) Some only worn once, others like the White Pinwheel 9 times.

    But when you look at the total Jumpsuits & Two Piece for that year being 26 and there were 5 tours and a total of 165 shows it makes you wonder what jumpsuit information we are missing?

    Oh Matt, took me long enough to gather pics of all the jumpsuits there are already and to learn their names and what year they were worn...don't tell me I'm missing some.

    Personally I like the white jumpsuit, but isn't that the Gold Attendance Belt he's wearing with the red jumpsuit?

    Yes, it is and frankly I think he made a good choice of wearing this particular belt with this suit.
