TF2 - Polypack - trolling_is_a_art
Ok, so, I just found out about this contest today and was astounded at how terrific the community is here. It really is great.
So I decided to throw around some really silly ideas. I would very very much like some feedback on them, more specifically if they are dumb or way too racist for Valve to pick up. I could definitely make them more subtle I suppose.

Here is a hat. I want to make the colors of the dolls red, white, and blue like the Russian flag but I don't know if most Americans would get that so I'd probably have to put some yellow in there lest they get confused.
Here is a gun to replace the shotgun. The little attachments would be plastic or metal textured and all red.
I don't know what to call this one yet. Obviously it is a fist weapon concerning nuclear weapons. I'm not sure which one to go with, either. The shotgun I did was pretty silly so maybe this one should be more "serious" and be mostly knife instead of some other shape. I notice that's where most of the entries here are going so I feel like I should go that direction also.... :P I don't want to do a brass knuckles because "everyone is doing that" but I considered it with Vodka caps or something... but most Vodka bottles' caps are not sharp as they are with soda bottles, haha.
So, please be really really tough on me. Tell me if I'm absolutely stupid for even considering these ideas. I don't have any friends who play this game so this is basically my only place to get opinions....![:\](https://polycount.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/confused.png ":\")

Thanks for the constructive feedback, bro. I'll keep that in mind for the next time I'm making art for you.
Conceptually though the hat is the only thing that piques my interest.
