So, to summarize this all out, one day I was probably looking at, and probably wacking it to some gay scout imagery. Probably how this idea came about.

I think I thought up this idea probably around 2017, maybe 2018 or 2019.

So you know, there's a bunch of shirtless scout content out there, as those kinds of images...

And I'm not saying a shirtless cosmetic should ever be added, it shouldn't be, that would be way too confusing.

BUT, what about a Scout cosmetic that doesn't make him shirtless, but allows his abs to be visible?
OR, better yet, what if it could also have a style on it where he has no abs at all? But he's still one of those guys that has his hoodie unzipped showing his belly and chest.

But anyways, that's the cosmetic.

Scout wearing a zipper hoodie, it unzipped, and there's no shirt below. So you can either have:

Which would be Scout with Abs and nice Chest Muscles below his unzipped Zipper Hoodie

OR

Which would be Scout with NO Abs and NO outstanding Chest Muscles below his unzipped Zipper Hoodie

Whether scout has his sleeves rolled up or not with this cosmetic is something I'd have to consider, as I could see it working either way, but one may be better than the other.

But I was also thinking, there COULD, maybe, be even 2 more styles. I think the sleeves rolled up or down thing would and should be something set in stone once decided, BUT, what about the Hood?

Style 3

Scout with Abs and Nice Chest Muscles below his unzipped Zipper Hoodie, with his HOOD over his head.

OR

Style 4

Scout with NO Abs and NO outstanding Chest Muscles below his unzipped Zipper Hoodie, with his HOOD over his head.


Also, I wanted to mention, there are shirtless Scout models out there for download, as well as versions with abs. So idk if the model creator for this cosmetic could use those to make their scout body with abs or no abs, etc, or if they would have to do that from scratch? But just an FYI, if it helps.

So, as for the SFM, I was thinking something like this:

Nothing too crazy, just scout in maybe 2fort spawn, or an outdoors map or something, and he's standing still with his default in-game idle animation.

The camera rotates around him while he's wearing the cosmetic, and it alternates from Style 1, to Style 2, to Style 3, to Style 4.


It then cuts to a scene where one of the map spawn gates rolls up, revealing Scout slowly strutting up.
(The camera is positioned probably halfway inside the spawn looking at the gate)


"Fellasss!"
Scout says, strutting in throwing his arms up, wearing the Cosmetic with the Abs and Chest muscles style, hood down.
(Style 1)

The scene lasts like three seconds, it's just him saying that, really.

Then the video cuts to the next scene, which goes like this:


It then cuts to a scene where one of the map spawn gates rolls up, revealing Scout slowly strutting up.
(The camera is positioned probably halfway inside the spawn looking at the gate)


"Laddiess..."
Scout says, strutting in throwing his arms up, wearing the Cosmetic with the nonexistent abs or chest muscles style, hood down. (Style 2)

Soda cans and paper balls, etc. Are then thrown toward Scout, and he then makes the cowardly pose
(probably using the animation he uses during the period in the game when the losing team is standing around with cowardly posing, OR, maybe the pose/animation from the new Scaredy-Cat taunt. Either could be hilarious. Probably the scaredy-cat taunt animation would be funnier.)

The scene ends very shortly after things begin to be thrown toward Scout, basically probably halfway through his cowering animation.

So, I just wanna mention the fact once again, I came up with this cosmetic idea in around 2017-2019ish. I came up with this idea first.
The credit for the idea can go under the name "Afraid Monsters" :P

BUT, upon a google search for images to use in this demonstration of my idea, I did find a cosmetic that has Scout sporting a crop-top! :O

I think that is a cool cosmetic and should be added too, during summer, but still, it is not the same as my idea.
Both cosmetics could be added.
(There's also a style for it that doesn't show skin that you can find after clicking the link. I think both of their styles should be added, awesome cosmetic.)


Anyways, I think some other cosmetics that inspired this idea, however, are as follows:
(Inspired by these because I would wear Scout Hoodies in game all the time on TF2 Skial Deathrun, but also obviously because my idea is an unzipped Zipper Hoodie)

The Track Terrorizer

The Wrap out Wraps!
(MY FAVORITE SCOUT COSMETIC)

Blizzard Briches
(This cosmetic didn't inspire my idea but I think this cosmetic would go REALLY well with my cosmetic, if ever really made.)


The Ripped Rider
(This cosmetic didn't inspire my idea, but damn... this is a newly added scout cosmetic, and its awesome... I think I'd paint it white, for white sleeves)
