The masks - why?

This has been bugging me for a while. I mean, in the cartoon series, there's an obvious reason for the masks - they differentiate the Turtles from each other. That doesn't apply to the Mirage/Image comics where they all have the same colour and it's in black and white anyway. And the masks hardly act as a disguise.

Is it a "Ronin" reference (ashamed to say I've never read it)? Or is it a psychological thing (makes them feel more like ninjas)?
