a knight and a sergent are really not the same thing, who need to be educated ? and i made a shortcut hospitalier/teutonic because the 2 highest leader of hospitalier have founded teutonic, and hospitalier became small and forgotten from history after
You are the one who needs some education since you are the one who originally said that he was wrong for making a Templer "Sargent at Arms" black with a red cross lol. That is literally what they wore, knights who entered the order wore white with red cross and commoners who joined the order (Sargent being part of that) wore black with a red cross. Teutonics wore white with a black cross and Hospitaliers wore black with a white cross except those high up in the order and eventually switched all the colours to red with a white cross. Two highest leaders of Hospitaliers didn't found anything, Pope told them to take over a German hospital, the order of German brothers was already a thing before that (in fact the pope said that the OGB had to be lead , it just wasn't considered a "Holy" order because they did not have Augustinian Rule to be so until the siege of Acre where merchants from Lübeck and Bremen (order of German brothers) formed a hospital in the city. Once granted Augustinian Rule the Teutonic Order as we know them were formed based on the model of the Templars, not Hospitaliers. Hospitaliers were not forgotten after history, one of the few og crusader holy orders still in existence today, Knights of Malta are Hospitaliers ( they fled there during all the hate), they just aren't recognized in the same regard since they didn't actually do much fighting except in defense and just guarded/ran hospitals meanwhile the Templars and Teutons were holy military orders. They also were the same caliber of fighters, look what happened to the English only Hospitaliers, homies got massacred because no more Templars. Once the Pope and France conspired to get rid of them that was the end of any real crusading since they threw them under the bus so Phillipe and Pope could consolidate power (Templars had become too powerful) and not pay off their debts to the Templars. They even had the nuts to burn Molay (GM of Temp at time) at the stake for hearsay after everything he did for them. Fall of the Templars is really a sad thing and if there ever was a Holy Grail no wonder they would hide it from the world that screwed them. Anyways long story short to say you are highly uninformed and should do more research before you talk trash like Ardorick said.
Recognition of the Order of the Temple (god soldier) did not only involve the development of a rule and a name, but also the attribution of a particular dress code specific to the Order of the Temple.The mantle of the Templars referred to that of the Cistercian monks .Only brothers from the nobility, had the right to wear the white coat, a symbol of bodily purity and chastity. The brother from the peasantry, wore a homespun coat, without the latter having a negative connotation. It was the Order which put the habit back on and it was also the Order which had the power to take it back. The coat belonged to him, and in the spirit of the rule, the coat should not be an object of vanity. It says that if a brother asked for a nicer outfit, he should be given the “vilest” one. a knight is a level higher than a sergeant, i mean, this post must be named "temple sergent" (or something like that) and "at arm's" is just obvious ; they was litteraly god soldier
I don't seem to find the shield nor the hat even though I have the waffenrock. What am I missing? What's the hat called and the shield? Shield decorated or something else? Edit: nvm, found the shield. But not the hat though.

This uniform, black with red cross, was for the rank of Sergeant-at-Arms inside the templar order.
