Ok Carrie1138, well, this is not outlandish, but first I must
apologies since I live in The States and have not officially seen the
movie so this is based off of the Posed Picture of Riddle which
conveniently is in the photo gallery of this site.  Hit photo and
you'll see it pop up there on the first page.

I put forth that since Riddle is a student from 50 years before, his
robes would be different.  Over time uniforms evolve so it is a
possibility.  After all, the exact color green could change, and the
crest could of been a uniting Hogwarts crest before the individual
houses used theirs.  Also the lining of Riddle's robe is different
from the modern version, and Riddle's robe only has on loop clasp
instead of the two clasps in the present robes.

So I say it is just the costume department wanting to make
characteristic changes of how a uniform adjusts to the taste of the times.

And also in the posed picture, Riddle's sweater does look green as
does his tie.  Maybe in the movie the lighting is not right to bring
this out.
