Why does Madara use Senju armor?

[Reflection]

It's apparent that the armor Madara is currently using is Senju-styled... Why? Why is he using Senju armory instead of those badass Uchiha robes?

It's not Senju Armor, it's battle armor adorned with a clan's symbol...

Cause robes don't protect you from shit

This^
It was common in that day and age to wear armor.Not that it ain't now.But currently there is a new formal dress code among the newly formed ninja villages which require them to rep their native origin.They were more traditional garbs of that era which were worn by the still dominant samurai.

Also this.
Robe don't protect indeed

 

[Cursed Prince]

Robes wont really stop a kunai though, right?

I agree lol

Um, that would mean the body in the lake was wearing Senju clan armour, it isn't though. They probs took Samurai like gear for themselves.

 

[Sir Blades]

That's traditional armor for a ninja at the time

 

[Champ]

Madara is swordman it looks like Samurai armor.

 

[Saiyansnake]

The casters use cloth armor, and melee use samurai armor.

Akatsuki robes protected them from stuff.

Thanks guys. My mistake.

 

[Satsujinki]

Why are the japanese samurai of old wearing Senju armor? Holy sh*t, Senju are real...!

 

[PrinceMyshkin]

He is obsessed with Hashi and wants to dress like him. Look at their first fight and Madara isn't wearing the armor. Their second fight with Kurama he's wearing the armor because he wants to be Hashi... The armor is literally exactly the same... I wanted to make a thread about this before but didn't think it was worth making a thread about. We did see another clan wearing that kinda armor in the newest chapter, but Madara remains the only Uchiha wearing it.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

It's the typical battle armor of that era

 

[Prime Rib]

He isn't its era armor of his time
