Costume designer Laura Jean Shannon confirmed that Homelander’s suit in The Boys has fascist ideology infused throughout his outfit.

Shannon explained during Prime Rewind: Inside “The Boys,” that the show “did a lot of research into symbolism that’s from other cultures and times in history where fascism really was pervasive. And we kind of baked that into his designs.” Homelander’s costume was designed primarily in blues and reds and made out of tactical fabric. He has a motif of gold eagles as epaulets on his shoulders, belt buckle and the tops of his boots.

“[We] had a great moment in our camera tests when all the actors were together,” Shannon added. “You know, he has this tactical fabric. And then all of a sudden, Erin [Moriarty] looked at him, and she said, ‘Oh, my gosh, those are eagles!’ ‘Cause his tactical fabric is a repeat of these fascist eagles as well.” The eagle pattern on the fabric is not discernible from a distance, but Shannon said, “It’s like, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.”

Amazon Studios’ The Boys stars Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Tomer Kapon as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Erin Moriarty as Annie January, Chace Crawford as the Deep, Antony Starr as Homelander and Aya Cash as Stormfront.
