That "H" crest uniform was an old designed for 50 years ago. Only the 
tie color revealed the House identity. The tie Riddle wore in movie 
is green and silver, as printed on magazines, movie pamphlet, etc. 
Like what the previous post said, some computer monitors are not 
color-calibrated well, or the scanned in image isn't color-corrected, 
color display can differ from one monitor to another. The internet 
pictures shows a very "green tie" on my screen. 

(same case just as I don't understand why some people were screaming 
Danial Radcliffe's eyes turn green as some point in the movie, it 
looks just the same blue eyes as always before on my screen).

I don't understand what the confusion or fuss (am I missing something 
along this discussion?) The book stated clearly Riddle/Voldemort was 
from Slytherin House. I don't reckon the film people would dare to 
change this fact and then called themselve "faithful to the book". I 
don't understand why there's a need to be doubtful. Did JK.Rowling 
deliberately created some sort of confusion and amibiguity about 
Riddle/Voldemort's house along the pages that I didn't pick up on? I 
thought she meant what she wrote.
