The heavy being a football player is pretty believable, the engineer wearing a turtle shell on his head? Not so much.

The issue here is that none of those greens are ever stuck onto the player. The green looks very poor on the red players, but would probably mesh pretty neatly with the blue.

Saw this on SPUF yesterday. Looks spiffy

Now someone do Sniper with his camper van on his head

And a steamroller for the Heavy

Spy needs a hat that's a large red arrow over his head.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, one of these days somebody's gotta make a classless headcrab hat.

Valve will make one that you get for domming a valve employee.
