Well I think with the first Assassin's Creed, they didn't really have a clear picture yet where all of this was going. They can easily claim they had, but I think one of the reasons why there were more games with Ezio was to give them more time to plan ahead. But of course the main reason was of Ezio's popularity. In the end they were also a bit lazy with the uniforms in Masyaf, applying the same robes as Altaïr on other assassins, like on Malik and other similar robes. I do agree with you about the basic white robe. I wish they would bring the beaks back and the iconic white robes. I was more pleased actually with Edward's costume, rather than with Connor's. It looked more like Edward was wearing a robe similar to the other assassins, rather than a long jacket. Anyway like I said I'm not sure why the new Assassins don't have eagle beaks anymore on their hoods. Maybe they thought it looked silly and that in reality it does block your vision? We can only speculate until Ubisoft gives a clear answer on it.
