Earlier today, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios shared a first official look at Tom Holland's new suit for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Well, minus the mask (that's a surprise which is likely being saved for tomorrow).
The design has been given a thumbs up from most fans as the MCU's Peter Parker is finally brought more in line with his comic book counterpart.
There are some very interesting details on the costume that are worth taking a closer look at, and that's exactly what we're doing here. From telltale signs that Stark Tech is no more to how it's influenced by another live-action Spidey, we're sure you'll agree that this is a spectacular effort.

It's Clearly Homemade
Does something look a little "off" about this suit? You might have noticed that the transition between the red and blue is a bit rough, and nowhere near as seamless and perfect as the technologically advanced costumes Peter wore during his previous MCU appearances.
This must be a deliberate move on filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton's part, as this is a Spider-Man who no longer has access to unlimited Stark Industries resources to create his suits.
The suit in the teaser video was not the same as this one (the chest logo is different), so the trend of the MCU's Spidey donning multiple costumes in these movies looks set to continue. Crucially, the costume is practical, meaning Holland will likely spend less time in a mo-cap suit.
The New Web-Shooters
What's up with the much bigger web-shooters? They're considerably larger and clunkier than what we've previously seen in the MCU, no doubt signifying that these are also homemade and not as advanced as they once were.
We also can't help but wonder whether these web-shooters will be similar to Ben Reilly's, with Peter showing he still has plenty of technical prowess, even without Tony Stark's help. Impact webbing, anyone?
Up until now, Spidey has never really had to deal with running out of webbing, mid-fight. However, that's bound to come into play in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as we'd bet on the wall-crawler making use of classic web cartridges.
More "Amazing" Than "Friendly Neigborhood"
Spider-Man: No Way Home's script confirmed that Peter had been inspired by the costumes worn by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's respective web-spinners. However, this takes way more from the Amazing Spider-Man than Maguire's Friendly Neigborhood Variant.
Everything from the way the red section curves and goes down straight on the chest and shoulder to the collar being a separate piece, the length of his gloves, and the texture is Amazing-inspired. The belt is also lower, while the pattern on the legs is the same as Garfield's.
When it comes to the other live-action Spider-Man, it's really just the raised webbing, though there are some obvious similarities with the chest logo, too. Ultimately, this is 100% classic Spidey. It's about time!
