People seem to forget that we got nothing suggesting that Masyaf Assassins that had promoted to Black were actively going on Assassination missions like Altair. The Den Masters were just there to coordinate and Malik broke out of this even while having one arm simply out of his regained respect for Altair as a comrade, not because of Assassin reasons per se.

And I have to agree with the fact that Assassins have always stood out. I mean seriously, it is so easy to distinguish an Assassin from a scholar. Plus the fact that the amount of Non-Assassins that wore hoods at the time was considerably low gameplay-wise. Sure the Middle East garb comes with head protection but can't say the same for all the periods. Among all those posh nobles and poor paupers at least one is bound to find a hooded person(with weapons and obvious odd custom-made clothing) suspicious.

Lol Funny thing, I always had Aveline wear the hood. Even the unlockable hats have just been sitting there, especially after gaining the earning the Assassin costume, that thing is just sweet(not the cute use of the term) and forbids any equipping of hats.
