When people say "these hats suck" it can mean in 2 ways. One is that the art was done in a bad way. Like pillow shading or using too much dithering, AA, or bad line work (this can be argued because it's there to be dissected). And two it's just an opinion that they don't like how the hats look. Theme, color scheme, size, or whatever might be the reason(point being that it's true because it's his opinion)



FYI not everyone is a fan of this simplistic look classic is trying to push.
