Tim Drake took over the mantle of Robin from Dick Grayson in “The New Batman Adventures” after stealing his costume, and…wait, that’s a very different costume that we’ve never seen before, and it never gets explained. Where the heck did the red Robin suit come from?

    I always thought that that was the case it was just his first suit from when he was like 13, it probably was on display because when Dick storms off after punching Batman he took the suit with him.

    why would a little boy wear the same clothes as a grown ass man, what if the red suit was just what old robin wore when he was new robin's age

    Here's the reason that I think they changed to the Red Robin costume and the explanation for "the real Robin" costume quote. The real reason is, the original suit had wear and tear, then got trashed and replaced with an upgrade. To explain Alfred's reaction and quote, maybe had had other pressing things on his mind and was careless with his words. Sometimes people brush people off with an offhand comment because they don't want to go into an encyclopedic explanation of things. Alfred had other things on his mind and instead of going into a long-winded explanation, he said, "Yep that's the real Robin's costume," just to be done with it. I do that all the time. Plus, I think the Red Robin costume is a much better design and a better evolution of the costume. Mystery solved.

    I mean there are three people in that room, one of them is child (probably couldn't/wouldn't), one of them is a grown man that is extremely socially stunted, one of them is an experienced elderly man who has been in the military and been a father figure to many people.

    My bets are on Alfred, the guy probably wouldn't feel any shame doing it if he knew it helped, has the discipline to do so, and likely doesn't view her as anything more than a child due to essentially being a father figure for the past 20-30 years to Bruce, Dick, and Tim.

    There would be no green costume left in the batcave because we see Dick Grayson leaving with the green suit on in "Old Wounds" like in the flashback clips you presented in this well-thought out video. At the very least, there would be one less green suit if Dick had taken the green suit with him… leaving me to believe the green suit in the batcave was a spare. I agree that the red suit is probably Jason Todd's or Dick's childhood costume*.
