    Since he was named after the bird, he probably should have had the same color design, they got it half right
    with the orange vest, but green short sleeves, green trunks, yellow cape and green Peter Pan shoes?

    But that's the Robin we all grew up with on tv, but even as a kid I remember wondering why he didn't look
    more like the actual bird? I still pestered my mother to get it for me anyway since my Capt. Kirk needed
    someone to slap around besides Klingons.

      ^But Robin wasn't really named after the bird, he was named after Robin Hood. That's why his costume has that medieval look with laced jerkin, scalemail shorts, pointed booties, etc.

      The comparison to the bird came later, since Batman was based on a flying creature as well.
