@Vesp "no f*cker is even wearing the damn thing"

Wut? I'm confused now. I made that statement because they were ones that were Assassins only in name. In Brotherhood it was established that proper Assassins earned the hidden blade and robes. None of the people you mentioned had a hidden blade nor did they attempt public Assassinations. They were warriors, informants and what-not but not in the department of Ezio. AC2 was going on storytelling where the Assassins and Templars weren't so obvious. It was trying a different approach from AC1. We were made to believe that the Assassins mostly died out until that revelation that all your comrades were part of it. In ACB Assassins rose to power in Italy again thanks to Ezio and even then the established Roman uniform was white. The Istanbul uniform was a whitish gray much like the lower rank uniform of AC1 and it was universal attire for Istanbul. We got a modern twist from AC3 onwards where individual Assassins opted to don more civilian clothing instead of a uniform.

So really, no point harping on AC2. It simply stated "Florentine Assassins that went on missions like your Father wore this" and that was it. We never saw another Florentine uniform.
