Forum:Luffy slowly looking more like Roger?

Hey, not sure if we've discussed this before or it's been said before, and this is sorta my first time posting on the forums, but I thought it was kinda cool and I'll delete the thread if everyone tells me it's old news.

So, we all know Luffy's hat was Roger's and Luffy will have to inevitably become Pirate King because it's the point of the show; but I noticed that after the timeskip, with Luffy's outfit change - his outfit is more remincent of Gol D. Rogers.

Example: Luffy's yellow waistband;

Luffy's coat is also longer too, perhaps as Luffy comes close and closer to being the pirate king, his outfit will reflect that? Maybe Oda is trying to convey a sense of growth of strength and as he does so, he becomes closer to being like Roger. In fact, in the past, when Roger meets Rayleigh and he was undoubtedly weaker and closer to Luffy's level of strength his outfit was incredibly similiar to Luffy's.

Note the coat being like Luffy's but black and simply wearing full length jeans instead of jean shorts like Luffy.

Well, if this is old news, feel free to say and I'll get rid of it - but I thought it was interesting to me at least.
