The Legend of Robin Hood
The original outlaw, Robin Hood is the epitome of the "everyman" hero. With his bravado, cocky attitude, and sharp wit, what could make a better Halloween costume? From the English legend to the Hollywood version in green tights, there's bound to be the perfect Robin Hood costume for your next Halloween party. Don't forget your bow and arrows!
So you want to be Robin Hood?
You Need Green Tights & a Quiver of Arrows
Robin Hood has been portrayed by every one from Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner. One thing they all had in common was a cocky sense of humor and self-preservation. Once the son of a nobleman, now a lowly outlaw, you've rededicated yourself to a higher purpose. Righting the wrongs committed against their countrymen and defeating the sheriff of Nottingham.The weapon most important to Robin Hood is his long bow and quiver of arrows. One of the best marksmen of his time, there's not a single archery tournament that can pass without Robin trying to enter it. You're also handy with a sword and improvising.
Usually you're accompanied by your band of Merry Men, fellow outlaws who've joined the cause under your banner. They might include Little John, Friar Tuck, and Will Scarlett.
Your lady love, Maid Marian, is cousin to King Richard. You grew up together and were childhood sweethearts before you joined King Richard fighting in the Crusades. A true beauty, you dream of the day you two can be together.
The green tights are always optional.
Dress like Robin Hood!
