"In mid-December 2011, Jayson Thiessen was asked if the Wonderbolts were inspired by the \"blue angles[sic]\" and answered \"yeah I think they were.\" In the book The Art of Equestria, it is mentioned that the Wonderbolts were initially conceived as \"the Blue Thunders\". According to Lauren Faust, the Wonderbolts' uniforms were designed by her husband Craig McCracken.

The Wonderbolts appear to be an amalgam of the United States Navy flight demonstration team, known as the Blue Angels, as well as their United States Air Force counterparts, the Thunderbirds. Their resemblance to the Blue Angels can be seen in their flight suits, which feature a shade of gold and aquamarine along with a 'winged bolt' logo, not unlike the paint scheme and 'flying shield' icon of the naval aerobatics team. To add to this, the background of their name is vaguely similar to that of the Thunderbirds. According to Lauren Faust, the Wonderbolts' uniforms were designed by her husband Craig McCracken. On October 22, 2013, Meghan McCarthy was asked \"is the wonder bolts[sic] military? or is that just old pegaopolis[sic] traditions going on?\" and responded \"Watch #MLPseason4 for answers ;-)\". Many of the Wonderbolts' past uniforms shown in the episode Testing Testing 1, 2, 3 resemble those of the real-life United States Air Force and Royal Air Force, and General Firefly's uniform resembles that of an officer of the American Civil War."@en . .
