Well, to be fair, Luffy's hat was much more relevant than his scar. Maybe not the best example. A lot of crews get named after their captain's epithet: Straw Hat Pirates, Red Hair Pirates, Blackbeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates. It's easier to remember than some other random feature the character has. Imagine if Luffy tried to name his crew the Sandal Pirates. Now which name makes more sense?
