Been trying to keep up with the characters introduced on the LSH
cartoon and which of their comics antecedents to which the designs
correspond. Anyone else been able to keep up?

So far I have:
Lightning Lad - Cockrum era/ Levitz
Phantom Girl - Apparition costume/Legionnaires era
Timber Wolf - Joe Phillips miniseries crossed with the Levitz era suit
Saturn Girl - Legionnaires era
Triplicate Girl - mostly new with a smart variation to the Cockrum era
swooshing bob hairstyle
Bouncing Boy - ? new?
Brainiac - ? - mostly Brainic 5.1 incarnation?
Colossal Boy - Cockrum/Levitz era with red headgear (my favorite)
Cosmic Boy - Legionnaires light purple and black
Element Lad - Levitz era pink and black?
Star Boy - Waid/Kitson era (from a brief glimpse) Black guy with a
white cape.
Dream Girl - Levitz era silver with a cloud insignia on her chest?
Ferro Lad - ? Legionnaires ?
Chamelon Boy - ?
Tyroc - ?
Shadow Lass - ?

I'd say his suit's more in the Legionnaires style.

Yep. I don't see much of the costume design coming from other versions.

He looks to me to have been influenced by some other versions (5.1
sharing the stuff on the face).

I think the outfit is Giffen's design with the Interlac "E".

white cape.
I don't recall if he has the full starfield on the top part of his
costume, but that's the current version's look.

I could swear he was the original design, but I'd have to see him again.

I'm pretty sure Tyroc's as Mike Grell designed him.

The outfit reminds me of Triad's DnA era costume.
