The big question is why do so few of them wear pants?

Also, red, blue, and green were the three primary shades of the Technicolor process, a virtual standard of the animation field by the time both of these trios debuted. I find it a bit notable that the earliest depictions of the Ducks and the Munks show them wearing three same-color shirts. In “Donald’s Nephews” and loads of early Donald/Uncle Scrooge comics, HD&L are in black shirts; occasionally they’ll wear striped beanies with alternating color stripes of their signature shade, but that’s more a cover thing than in actual stories. Meanwhile, the earliest single cover for “The Chipmunk Song” and the first couple full albums of their actual group show AS&T in smart red jackets (and looking like the real world animal; one can definitely notice where “rivals” the Nutty Squirrels stole their looks from). I guess the switch to three shades was a deliberate attempt to appeal more to the mass market?
As for the pants question, after trying to stomach the sight of Howard the Duck in slacks, my best guess is that such a “scandalous” fashion choice serves better to remind the viewer this is an animal we’re looking at, not some human in an animal costume.
