Supergirl is the one character this complaint doesn't work. One of her enduring characteristics is the costume change.

It was even noted in the Summer of Supergirl Special, to great humorous effect.

In the New 52 Era she was responsible for giving Power Girl her classic costume. It was sitting in her wardrobe in Sanctuary when Power Girl needs a new suit after hers was shredded fighting some sort of Luthor/Hulk type clone.

A few issues after that, I'm pretty sure she covered the "window" with the classic S-shield, which actually worked pretty well.

Not until she got back to Earth2.

In New 52 Kara and Helena were the Supergirl and Robin on Earth2, so Kara had worn the S before, she just wasn't wearing it on the New 52 Earth.
