For anyone who doesn't know, Janissaries typically wore similar iconic hats as a symbol of their loyalism. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/17/20/ea/1720ea281a7ba7f6b0a7345691c06834.jpg
AoE2 was originally meant to feature them in these, but they removed them for a ridiculous reason of the testers thinking that the models resembled Ku Klux Klan members.
Models with the hats still exist in the game even in DE, meaning they could be just easily swapped. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/f/f0/Royal_janissary_aoe2de.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/256?cb=20200410083533
Any questionable argument the devs/testers once might had with the resemblances are completely irrelevant now anyway with the high quality DE models clearly being indistinguishable.
I know many people don't like changes, but I think this was something anyone could get quickly used to, would look better ingame, more historically accurate, more in line with the game's original vision, and less disrespectful as the only reason the current ingame model exists is a ridiculous comparison to such a notorious organization.
