[TF2] Both teams being visually the same..? (Training Range)
For some reason when starting an Offline Practice match both teams randomly became the same color. How did it happen? First, I played the match normally, the match ended and I killbinded, next up I was changing cosmetics of the class I was using (Pyro) and clicked on change color button preview, it didnt work so I clicked some more times until it did, something was odd since accessories did not charge at first and decided to join the match as Sniper, all accessories loaded up but my color was the same as last round (BLU), but the background of the character was now RED, so visually, all of my team was BLU, but had RED outline, and several props acted as so (dispensers, medics' beams and stuff) And when finally the other team popped up, they where blue too, and that mixed with both teams being bots, and using no hats, it was visually impossible for me to detect which one was on my team.

Screenshots and videos of how it looked
Changing the colour of the class in the Loadout is not a feature of regular TF2. This is a feature of custom HUDs that actually change the files of RED items to the BLU or vice versa. This means on sv_cheats 1 servers, this will also turn every player, weapon, and cosmetic into that team's colour.
This is not a bug with the game, but you simply have to press the "BLU" or "RED" button on your Loadout screen to revert this, and this does not happen in the default HUD only with a custom one.
