From pictures I’ve seen it seems that’s chassisish rabanim and some chassidim not all though wore black hats many others wore gray , sometime after the war in America the hats slowly changed to black until it becames what it is now the yeshiva symbol. It’s not inherently different from any other color that one can wear blue brown for example in fact in a hundred years the color may change but whatever the color is at any particular time is the symbol and uniform accepted by those in that class of people
