tl:dr - Hats/Gear should be backwards compatible providing fun and enjoyable effects.
Hi, I have a idea where Hats- Mainly Limiteds but also non Limited hats can affect in game gear. Yes I am aware that this has been done by roblox before such as;
Riddling Skull
http://www.roblox.com/The-Riddling-Skull-item?id=4765718
&
Riddling Skull Sword
http://www.roblox.com/Riddling-Skull-Sword-item?id=37821996
By wearing the Riddling Skull it makes the Riddling Sword much more effective in battle increasing the rotary speed and the damage output.
That's just one example, I believe there is also one other being the Ninja Mask of Awesome and the Awe Star where the reload time is much lower.
Here are some hats/gears that would be much more enjoyable if you could use them with gear to get more out of the gear.
Skater Hats = Increasing the SkateBoard Speed
War Related Hats = Decreasing the Reload time/ Increasing the projectile damage
Azurewrath Hats = Increasing damage of the Azurewrath Gear.
Korblox = ECT
Knights of the Splintered Skies = ECT
I could list every single hat and it could effect gear..
So, I can see many of you asking what are the Pros and Cons of having this Implemented so in reverse order here we go...
Cons:
1) Poor Sorcius has to go through all the game scripts implementing the hat Effects.
2) Time for roblox to Implement this feature.
Pros:
1) This will boost hat sales and take money away from the robloxians meaning Robux Hyperinflation (Don't ask) will go down.
2) More people will buy robux - meaning more profit for the Company.
3) More people will trade hats trying to get a hat combo that suits there style of gameplay. (All range hats or all melee boosting hats)
4) We implement a system which is original and creative instead of a half copied idea.
5) It is a selling point and a great one of that. "Customize your character to suit your play style and build anything"
This is maybe how it will look like.

Ok well thats my idea, maybe some of you will like it some may not, but imagine what new hats could be invented we could even have certain days with special hats: Range Hat Tueday or Special Hat Sunday.
Ok thanks if uou support please post support if you don't support just say Don't support and maybe tell me why.
No support.
Sell them as different items. Plus, builders can morph gear together and then change the result to make a reaction.
( Morph a skater hat and a skateboard to get a faster skateboard )
