What is the purpose of the TMNT's bandanas?

Yes, they make the Turtles look more "ninja" to our eyes, but why would Splinter want to emphasize their ninja-ness with bandanas (and as I recall, ninja did not wear bandanas like the TMNT, or even the cliched all-black suit for that matter)?

This question is all the more confusing if we're talking about the Mirage comics, in which the Turtles all wore red bandanas.
