They are indeed wearing the black ties with the crest.  In the next 
scene, where Harry is looking out the window, you will notice on the 
chairs as they pan to him, that the articles with the Griffindor 
colors on them are placed there ready for the next day.  Also, the 
ties they wear before being sorted are exactly the same as the 
teacher's ties.  Take a close look at Madam Hooch.

I also find it interesting that in CoS, the school robes and uniforms 
are decidedly different on Tom Riddle and Moaning Myrtle, than the 
uniforms that the trio wear.  It seems to me, they did extensive 
research on British school uniforms.

And has anyone noticed that most of the Wizards in Cos are wearing 
clothing reminicent of the 1800's?  When you see Lucius and Fudge in 
Hagrid's hut, their clothing and hair seem to be in style with the 
late 1790's early 1800's.
