I'd wager many people of today (at least in America) got their introduction to Robin Hood from Disney, which has the classic Robin Hood look.

The recent Russel Crowe movie is meant to be serious and dark. They couldn't have had him with a feather in his cap and all that. ERB almost absolutely would not be portraying him as a dark character, so there's no need to change from his most famous look.
