It's a reference to Uncharted and the fact that Pyromaniacs often start off with lighters.

Item names shouldn't be so obscure that you have to explain them

Hat With No Name, triboniophorus Tyrannus, vintage merryweather, Travish DeGrooot Experience and hound dog depending on your level of knowledge on music, pocket medic and cheater's lement for those who aren't avid tf2 players, dread knot, otolaryngologist's mirror, Familiar fez (sort of- Austin Powers is fairly popular, but that specific scene isn't that widely known), all father, made man, and flair.
Don't even get me started on promos.
[QUOTE=Petachepas;35930135]Well, well, well... does someone feel like naming things?
We need a name for this lil´ item:

If it gets in, Valve will rename it 'the Firestarter'.

Why are these here, The Man with No Name is one of the most iconic characters in film history, and as you said, Austin Powers is a fairly popular film series.

To add to that, vintage Merryweather isn't an obscure reference, it's the name of that type of helmet sans vintage. The Jimmy Hendrix Experience is hardly obscure.
[QUOTE=Simski;35929344]I'd like it better if the tie looked normal, otherwise really interesting. [sp]I'd like it even more if the tie looked normal and was jiggleboned.[/sp][/QUOTE]
I would if I could but you just have to compromise on some things. The tie is so long that in some positions it will stick into his body or stick all the way out.

Well, like I said I'd like it better if the tie looked more normal :v:
I don't know if the length of the tie was also part of the smooth criminal reference, but none the less I think it looks a lot longer than normal.

It's been said a million times, but valve specifically said they don't want hats or miscs that have weapons on them- it could be confusing and all on a whole bad for recognizable characters.

But the Cozy Camper is a weapon.

They don't want items with weapons on them because their silhouette stands out. This knife is holstered and won't stand out as a weapon from far away.
To be fair, the one bit of it that looks like the weapon is always covered by the Spy's hand anyway.

You can only see the quart of the knife actually. And closed.

That doesn´t mean it should share other weapons models, does it?

I've always gotten most of those references lol
how many people do you think know the guy who started Zippo
furthermore most of those even if they need to be explained are actually funny or a significant reference, yours is just a stretch for alliteration

Passive enough an item to warrant it's existence on a hat.

Should I take a crack at remaking this? I lost my blend file, so it'd have to be from scratch.
[QUOTE=The Stills;35931868]Why are these here, The Man with No Name is one of the most iconic characters in film history, and as you said, Austin Powers is a fairly popular film series.[/QUOTE]
I thought the hat with no name referenced the song, A horse with no name by America.

Is there a wrench replacement that is a blowtorch? I'd really like to see something like that.
If so, could I get a link?

Basically the Stainless Pot with a Soldier's Stash styles band on it, and Grenades.
4 Queen Cards and a Sketchbook with a pencil and a drawing on it in the sash. Green Day Grenade and a Rose for grenades.
