I wonder why they don't give Five and Ben new outfits... 😤🥺

For Ben, it's probably because he's dead and can't change any clothes. (Or if he's able to later in the season, which I doubt, I don't think they'd want to spoil that.)

For Five I honestly have no idea. Then again, the school-uniform thing is kind of his brand at this point? So maybe it's for aesthetic(tm) reasons.

OR Five just couldn't be bothered to change any clothes. And assuming that's the reason, picture this (sad headcanon alert): he doesn't want to change any clothes, he doesn't want to take care of his appearance, because that means taking care of a body that isn't his. It makes it seem as if he's stuck as a kid forever, it makes his entrapment more real. But if it's temporary, he doesn't need new clothes. Why take care of something you're going to give up on anyway?

ALTERNATIVELY, another sad headcanon: these are the only clothes he's ever known. He got trapped in the apocalypse as a kid, and he probably held onto this uniform until it didn't fit him anymore (or until he was forced to change out of due to weather conditions, as we see in the start of EP5). So they feel safer than anything else.

OKAY, NOW FOR ANOTHER THEORY that's not headcanon-y, I promise: what if Five arrives in Dallas first?

Like we've been assuming that the GIFs were released in the order the Hargreeves reach Dallas. But what if, instead of Ben and Klaus arriving first, Five does? So if he's already there, if no time has passed between S1 and S2 for him, that would mean his appearance is the same. He just... popped right in.

Then again, there are his injuries. And then there are the comics, but at this point I'm not so sure how true to them the show is going to stay. We'll see though!

And anyway yeah, I'm not sure what theory I support myself, I'm just throwing in some random thoughts. I'm not trying to claim I know what will happen in S2 in any way. Feel free to expand on this if it inspires you though!
