I think they should utilize an ingame gambling item. It will hand out old hats that have been converted to accessories, food items, hats, and 4+ year old furniture. Because there isn't "a way to hand distribute accessories", why not rerelease content instead of accepting player submissions/having the gfx team make a few.
It's not like us old players actually value or are attached to these items.
Btw whoever converted the goggles managed to
1) not save it as a 32-bit png
2) managed to make the misalignment the original goggles had even worse on the accessory
