Yeah. This design was still wrong, but wrong for different reasons. I think I (just barely) prefer the look we got, because this look is somewhat ugly... but it does drape over the shoulders in a more pleasing manner.
Here's what that suit looked like in real life. It's not right, and God knows what they were thinking to think this looked good either, but align those straight pleats with a horizontal collar and you'd have something.
It's like they said "hey, we tried changing it from the traditional look and it looks silly. I'm not sure why, so let's just change it to something
else that's different from the traditional look and see if it looks any better." It seems the only thing they didn't try was the traditional look, because for some arbitrary reason they ruled it out right off the bat.
