Marvel Rivals - Winter Soldier CAPTAIN'S MANTLE Fan-made Costume - Concept Art

I wanted redesign/''modernize'' this cool Captain America outfit and adapt it into Marvel Rivals (as a fan-skin idea).

Realistically I don't think this idea would ever be in the game, maybe only purely for cosmetics. but for Captain America -without the ''it's actually Bucky'' aspect.
Having this skin for Winter Soldier, I think it'd be visually confusing with the actual Captain America in Rivals (especially with his default Rivals appearance) OR the way I designed it without the shield (to not increase the model size/hitbox), the fans might think that ''Captain America'' without THE SHIELD loses the whole iconography associated with the character.

But I wanted to be lore accurate and keep this idea for Bucky, and it was more fun of a challenge to adapt this ''Captain America'' design into Winter Soldier, that is mechanically much different from the shield-wielding Vanguard we ended up with in Rivals.
Tried to make a healthy balance between ''it's still clearly Winter Soldier, but now as a new Captain America (as a title)''.
