That was a part of his aesthetic. If Austin had suddenly switched to blue trunks for no reason and started using "J-Pop Drop" as his theme music, would he have still given off the same "Austin-vibe?"

I agree.. But that's not what I meant.. The argument was the gear represents the wrestler, and Cody needing to change his to help further his career.. I'm just sayin Austin was massively over and he wore a plain Jane, run of the mill black diaper

Ring gear can represent a wrestler. I never said Cody needed to change. I just think switching to longer tights would give him a fresher look and maybe look a bit more like a babyface. He doesn't need to do it, but I think it would aid. Like when Chris Jericho turned heel in 2008, switching to the super-serious short trunks helped change the vibes Jericho gave off. Or when The Miz did the same thing when he dropped the shorts for the trunks.

Plain Jane, run of the mill black trunks worked for Austin because he was "no-nonsense" and had no time to worry about such things. Black trunks, please, and step on it. I would contend that if Austin had worn much of anything else, he wouldn't have given off the same vibe. When he was a heel he did shake things up with different colored knee braces.
