I just don't think a solid brown ranger would look very heroic. It doesn't really pop. Think about it -- there aren't many brown-suited American super heroes either. (The closest I can think of is that one era of Wolverine.)

And Catman.

Maybe brown just makes everything look like it's from the late 70s, early 80s.

That or natural/untamed/wilderness.

Something of that nature.

Should sentai have vehicles mechas again like the 80's ?

Ehh, Let the past be the past. Maybe once in a while they can draw inspiration from them but what fun is there if you are gonna regurgitate the same old stuff?
Sure there will be a few duds along the way but I say keep on truckin'.

I think of Nite Owl and Crimson Fox when it comes to brown-outfitted superheroes, but I'm a DC fanboy. And most of the brown ones we're discussing (the two I mentioned, Wolverine, Vixen) have wild animal themes. Maybe if they do another animal sentai and there's a bear Ranger or owl Ranger they'll try brown?

Until then, all we have is SHINKENNNNN BROWN!

Enlighten me, guys. I never quite got the fascination the western Toku fandom has with Shinken Brown. I hated that episode back when I first watched it and I'm still not into it these days.

It's just the humor over it. It's an Italian portraying an American Japanophile who wants to be a Samurai.

Just like how I consider Ryo the Taiyaki Master as god tier for the same reasons.

Then looking back Riders already have two brown riders in Imperor and Punchhopper.
And Ghost's Billy the Kid form.
