SuitsEdit
Donald's 50's cartoons costume.
Donald's most iconic suit is a blue sailor suit with yellow patterns near the handcuffs, and four (or two) buttons on the shirt. In the comics however, the shirt is black, though the stripes are still yellow and the cap is still blue. Finally, in the 50's cartoons, the suit he wore had no yellow stripes and no buttons, and the tie was black instead of red as in all other incarnations.

Behind the scenesEdit
Donald is commonly thought to have first appeared in 1934 in the cartoon short The Wise Little Hen, however, this was in fact only his first animated appearance, as he had previously appeared in an unknown episode of the Hall of Fame radio series earlier that same year.[5] Donald Duck's creation was actually inspired by his voice actor Clarence Nash, who, when the Disney crew met him, was doing impression of various barnyard animals on the radio, which included an angry duck that would later become Donald.
Donald's "middle name" is Fauntleroy, as revealed in the cartoon Donald Gets Drafted. This is a reference to the fact that child-sized copies of sailor suits, like the one Donald wears, were called "Fauntleroy suits".
