When Jappa updated the texture for zombies, he forgot one thing: the zombie's clothes are supposed to match Steve's. Now they don't. This bugs me a lot for some reason. Please update Steve (at least his clothes) to match the zombie.
UPDATE: I have provided a possible retexture. This does not have to be used, it's just my retexture that I think is cool and you may want to consider using. I copied the zombies' shirt texture to make it.

@unknown Look at the texture from their addition through 1.13.2, and look at the Steve from that time. Their clothes match. Every pixel. In fact, I think Notch may have just copied the Steve and recolored him to make the zombie texture.
I'm pretty sure that this problem should be solved with "works as intended", as it's most likely intentional for the zombie to not match every exact pixel of Steve. This would make sense considering just like in real life something like for example a shirt can be the exact same though it won't have the same crumpling or shadowing and it's a zombified human, so like the zombie villager it won't match every single pixel. They both match the new textures, just not every pixel matches. And yes, some pixels do exactly match Steve which would prove it's intentional.
If you're problem is that Steve looks really "messy" compared to the smooth textures of the zombie then that has been solved in Bedrock Edition 1.13.0, where new textures for both Steve and Alex were introduced that were cleaned up and fixes the problem of the "messiness". This also once again proves it's intentional since they had a choice to update every pixel to match but didn't.
"I don't know why this isn't resolved with "works as intended", as they have been updated and this has been solved In Bedrock Edition 1.13.0." Because this is the bug tracking section for Java Edition, where the issue still exists.
The zombie still smiles too like steve used to but doesn't anymore. (I know it is a beard, I'm just joking). The drowned and zombie are inconsistent in that way because the drowned don't have a beard. Hmm.
The title should be changed to "Steve's Clothes No Longer Matches Zombie"
Also I provided an updated Steve texture that matches zombie and has his beard back.
Edit: This still affects 1.17.1
Are they supposed to match? You got a source on that?
