A great take on it. It looks like an high-tech suit made into a medieval armor, which is fitting to the character. The big bag might be a bit impractical but there might be soem ways to work around that. Also, I love the whole green ensemble with some purple bits here and there. We really get why he's called the "Green" Goblin like this, since the purple is a tad distracting in the comic classic costume.
And the sleek  design of the mask and hood is on point!

The big bags would prove rather impractical in battle, I think. The guy is known to fly around on a glider, which isn't as easy as the comics make it look. Bags like that would have to not fall off his shoulders when he's not flying straight. It would have to be designed so that it doesn't make him loose his balance, and so that he doesn't have to fiddle with the clips to open it when he's supposed to look at his enemy. The smaller pouches on the belt are better but maybe they don't have to look so dissociated with his armor.

It's hard to tell if it's supposed to be a medieval-knight Goblin (wouldn't be surprised if it existed in the comics) or a super-soldier-armor goblin like in Sam Raimi's movies, but if it's the latter, I think you can do waaaay better.
For instance, look at Batman Begins utility belt. It's all modular, he can clip pouches of various sizes and forms on his belt pre-fight, depending of what he wants to put inside, and in battle, he can slide them on the front part of the belt. If the Green Goblin was real, I think he'd use something like this to have his little pumpkin-bombs ready. He could have tech on his gloves that, when in contact with a pumpkin-bomb, makes it 'clip-off' the belt, so that bombs tend to stay in place until he takes them.

I love the hood (would've colored it in purple, though, to keep a balance green-purple), but again, I think you could go further. Maybe a small tattered purple cloak to go along with the hood ? I've always seen the Green Goblin either full-cloth or full-armor. I'd love to see an hybrid version, like he's wearing a full kevlar armor with a butt-load of tech, but has cloth over it to keep the 'myth' going. For example, Spiderman would then think "wait, is that a real goblin flying around on a giant-bat ?! O_O".
It's something that I LOVED in the animated show "Spectacular Spiderman" : his pumpkin-bombs and shurikens made creepy laugh sounds when thrown.
