I hate it when they screw around with costumes, they are iconic and should not change. The only acceptable time for it to happen is if its a generation change (the cape going from Bruce to Dick) or its a movie.
Alternate costumes I can deal with, i am ok with black suit spidey but the classic is still my fave.

So are you saying you like the old one design/style wise and if you could go back 70 years you would keep her as she was? Or its just that its ICONIC so it should not change period even if its a bad design? "
What I mean by iconic is that there is always a certain look.
With spider-man its the full body red and blue costume. With batman its the cowl, cape and full body suit.
With wonder woman to me its always been the bodice, the golden belt, tiara, gauntlets, the skirt (or lack of) and boots.
Never changing was a little strong, what i meant to say was changing the costume that doesn't add to the costume (which i dont think this does) and that goes beyond being in keeping with the look. For a good example of what I would consider adding to the costume and tweaking it (making it fresh yet still the same) have a look at the game Batman arkham asylum. Its still the batsuit, it still looks like the iconic suit, yet its been updated. Its now looks to be somewhat more armored yet hasn't changed.
For me the best update i saw with wonderwoman was in the superman arc "for Tomorrow" and also the mini amazons attack. She had the skirt (in amazons attack it was leather and armored) and a cape, but you should still yell it was wonder woman and the changes i thought where good.
This new costume to me feels like a bad black canary rip off, doesn't stand up as ironic or wonder woman and I just think it looks bad. It doesn't look like its a whole costume but instead it looks cobbled together. Its like she got up in the morning, stole some of batmans leggings, and pinched Canarys coat then went out.
Of course there are characters that are suited to ever changing costumes like Iron man as his costume is entirely tech based and stark will always want to have a new look for the armor (he has hundreds of suits, he needs to be able to tell them apart somehow).
