To be fair there's still a lot we don't know about medieval England. Maybe they had a Superdry.

The first trailer for a new Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton (Eggsy from Kingsman) came out on Thursday, and people were a bit confused by the costumes.

It's true, the costume-design department seems to have played fast and loose with historical accuracy. One shot includes evil goons equipped with old-timey riot shields.

Needless to say, pedants of the world united online.

Maybe we can cut Robin Hood a little slack, he is a fictional outlaw swashbuckler after all.
