Rennie,
Why would the Roman army stop using crests on their helmets just because they changed the style? The soldiers still needed to recognize their officers in the field, and a horsehair crest is a good way to identify your commander. While there is evidence for feather crests, there is also evidence from various sources for horsehair ones too.
Magister,
What rank are you in your group? A file leader? The crests in the photos looks good and I really like your Coptic tunic.
