Now I still dont have any replies on where Gonzo's chilli pepper suit comes from? Could it have been the Jim Henson Hour, or was the clothes created just for publicity and toys?
The first time that I remember seeing it was in Muppet Classic theatre (although technically he wore it in the Kermit Unpigged promo shown in the Muppet Classic Theatre video). On The Jim Henson Hour, he wore the white shirt, grey vest and red tie that he wore throguhout the 1980s (in The Muppets Take manhattan, A Muppet family christmas, and other '80s muppet productions).
This leads me to ask a question. How come Gonzos regular outfit has changed over the years? First he regularly wore a purple tuxedo, then he alternated it with a bluie shirt and black vest (seen in the muppet movie and later seasons of The Muppet Show), then he wore a white shirt, gray vest, and red tie, then he wore various chilli pepper suits (in Muppet Classic Theatre, Muppets Tongith, and Muppets From Space, and I think he also wore it at the end of The Muppets Wizard of Oz), and in It's a very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie he wore a blue (or is it gray?) sweater, which i think he has also worn elsewhere (I don't know for sure). Why is this?
