Just like Usagi Yojimbo's ears.

Personally, I'll accept either one depending on the mood of the comic/cartoon/movie/etc.

**Jester** · 08-23-2011, 08:23 PM

I say the Turtles all wear full ninja garb...I mean, what's more out in the open than for giant Turtles.
Oh, and Andrew, not that I like it, are the Turtles really "blood brothers"? I mean what are the odds of the 4 pet shop turtles actually being genetic brothers. As much as I hate NM saying so (because it craps on families by ADOPTION just to make the female turtle a viable love interest...yuck.) it makes sense that they aren't blood brothers. Although, how much color variation is there in sliders? BUSLADY!?!

Edit: As for which I prefer, I agree with Powder and others who say depends on the Turtles...

*discordiatookie* · 08-23-2011, 08:28 PM

To be fair, i'll take either or. Should be a 'I don't really mind' option.

I dig the red for the comics, the more mature audience, say, and coloured bandanas for the cartoons. if it comes down to a movie, then its pretty much always going to be aimed at kids, so I guess colours, but if they were to go for a more mature, darker natured movie then give me all red. So yeah, what Aelia said! I do prefer the comics more than any other medium, so red got my vote...

Well, at least they came up with the colors for each turtle.

*VaughnMichael* · 08-23-2011, 09:03 PM

I like the idea of all red simply because it reminds me more of red ear slider turtles with the red markings on the sides of their heads.

Them being like that gives them more of that look.

*Bauer536* · 08-23-2011, 09:18 PM

Here's what I have to say: Even though I voted for colored bandanas, I wouldn't mind if we saw both elements. They could start wearing red, that is until Splinter can't tell who's who anymore.

Then they would get their colored masks. Then maybe, as they get older, instead of masks, they'll have colored spandex outfits. Then they would look like REAL ninjas.

Or like Power Rangers.

The best scenario for them in the new movie is this. Have the turtles wear the individual colors for most of the movie. Have Splinter wear his Red robe. Then, have Splinter beat up and kidnapped. In the process, tearing some of his outfit off and onto the floor. The turtles come in, swear their vengeance for their master. See a piece of his clothing, and tear it into 4 badanas to wear in honor of their master. Then, have the final fight on a rooftop, with all 4 turtles wearing red. So iconic, I get chills just thinking about it! Then switching back after the fight. Best of both worlds.

Wow. That is a very cool concept. Raph won't be the one changing, though.

This is great.

*CyberCubed* · 08-23-2011, 10:50 PM

I feel for the cartoons and toys they obviously make the right decision to give them colored bandanas. I doubt the original cartoon would have been a success if they all had red bandanas.

For the comics, it never matters. They're in black and white anyway! At least besides Vol. 2 and the IDW comics.

Same here.... I dont matter to see them in colours bandanas at TV cartoons...but for example I only Have/Want de Red ones for the 4 Sideshow Statues...

So I cannot choose that poll!

!!

LeoNerdo · 08-24-2011, 02:31 PM

Coincidentally, I've been reading through the Archie series and read No. 58 today that explains why they chose different colors in the Archie Universe.

I like it thematically, but that seems kind of a$$hole for the Turtles to do to their master's robes. I mean, what will Splinter say when he gets back? "Thanks for rescuing me, now who's going to replace my freakin robe?"

4 identically sized baby red-earred sliders in the same pet shop? Odds are pretty damn good they hatched from the same batch of eggs, yeah.

Fugitoid Jones · 08-29-2011, 05:33 AM

I'm all for the Turtles dropping anything resembling ninja garb and wearing cool early 90's rockstar duds like white sneakers and jean vests.

Naw, just kidding. Like many others here, it really depends on the version.

Well, it would only have to be a small portion of his robe being torn off to tear it thinly into four seperate bandanas.

*Jephael* · 08-30-2011, 06:52 PM

I grew up with the multi-colored bandanas as seen in the cartoons, the movies, ect. but when I started reading the Mirage comics I got used to telling the Turtles apart by their behaviors and of course their weapons. That being said I could care less either way. Besides society has grown accustomed to the TMNT having those distinct colors, and I'm pretty sure that as time goes on they'll keep those colors forever.

*ssjup81* · 08-30-2011, 07:47 PM

All red is okay, but I kinda prefer the different colors. I like how each color can reflect or represent the character's personality. For example, Raph is a hothead, so it's appropriate that he'd have red, ya know?

Hm...I never looked at the Turtles as a "clan" that would adhere strictly to the to-the-book kind of martial arts tradition(s), even if Splinter did. They always seemed unorthodox to me as a whole, with the exception of Leonardo anyway.

Nah, I like purple being exclusive to Donny. It's unique.

Spoiler: Apparently the young turtles hadn't developed distinct scents or personalities and Splinter had a hard time telling them apart. Then at the end they were reading a 'Donald' Duck comic one of the nerd thugs had left behind and got the idea to copy Huey, Dewey, and Louie with the different colored baseball caps and developed into masks/initialed belts later on. I thought it was a novel idea anyways. I always liked DuckTales.
