Valve giveth, and Valve taketh away: Team Fortress 2's BLU Scout is once again wearing the 'wrong' pants after a 17 years-in-the-making fix was reversed a day later

Signs of life from Team Fortress 2 are rare and precious these days, so when Valve updated the in-game model of the Scout, fixing a visual bug that's existed since TF2's release in 2007, we were paying attention. But as reported by YouTuber shounic, the visual tweak was not to last: A follow-up patch has reverted the BLU Scout's pants to their original, incorrect khaki from a smart, team-appropriate navy.

"Reverted BLU Scout pants fix because it conflicts with too many existing cosmetics," read the characteristically terse patch notes. Shounic points out in another video that cosmetics which change Scout's pants or shoes remain brown, with ones that only swap out part of the model (like the Crazy Legs) resulting in a tacky, half-navy, half-khaki ensemble with the BLU Scout's short-lived new threads.
