Why not make the emblem the paintable part?

Here is an award, as this shit absolutely deserves it

This was both posted in November and is an excellently made hat.

I feel like the only thing hurting this hat are the ear segments of the ushanka seemings a bit too messy

Not a bad suggestion with the bullets, something to consider for next year I guess

A simple, unobtrusive hat is always welcome in my book, although when I first saw this my immediate thought was: "doesn't Sniper already have one of these?"
I think what it's missing is a little personalization. Say... a few spare bullets tucked into one of the ear flaps, or Sniper's class emblem on the front. Something to make it feel like HIS hat, and not just A hat, y'know?
