Super Sentai Costume Design Classification

This is a classification of recurring costume design elements of the Super Sentai series. It´s not official, but based on my own observation. Some suits may not clearly fit in one category and may perceived differently by different viewers. In the extra rangers column tere are additional rangers, Bangai Heroes and evil rangers, as long as they have a distinct design and are not clones of the core rangers or made up only of monsters or grunts.
