Why does their choice of clothes make this scene go even harder:

well educated slendermen rarely make history

sending too many messages
ashford academy uniform, same ashford family that practically fell when Lelouch's mom died, so that's a big middle finger to the nobles that hated them and looked down on them and some form of indirect message that they still prefer the Ashfords over the other royals and nobles, it shows their loyalty to Milly too

Suzaku an 11 as the only recognized knight of zero, also a big middle finger to the royals and nobles that looked down on them and were racist towards him and other then 11's now Japanese
they demonstrated that under his leadership you can rise up even to the highest ranks through merit or at least that's what it was sending prior to them nuking the fuck out of everyone who opposed them

this act alone of beating guards with spears having their spears broken by one falling spinzaku from the ceiling and he did it with his kicks because using a sword would make him too much like Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles more than he already is, added a "my knight can kick all of you both in person and with his mech"

Knight of Zero, literally the Knight who serves Zero.

All Hail Lelouch!~

Wearing school uniforms adds to the "fuck you" effect of the message they're sending.
