I use the default crosshair with a hud dot right now but I really like how this stands out more.

The guide over on ETF2L is a little outdated and some of the links are dead, so I'll rewrite a more concise one here.

This crosshair is achieved by using a custom font file called "tf2cross" which has the letter "x" replaced with a replica of the in-game crosshair. You need a copy of the font file (tf2cross) which is available on my ftp here:
http://users.on.net/~seeeker/tf2cross/

This needs to be placed in /tf/resource. I chose to install the ttf file too.

The pastie links below need to be placed in your ClientScheme.res in the Fonts and Custom Fonts section (I'm assuming you already have a custom hud and this file exists). Your choice if you want to use the outline or not - it looks smoother without.
http://pastie.org/private/s3qyhdrilbnnwlgqwqfg

This goes into HudLayout.res.
http://pastie.org/private/oo0mx4cuqquqeqe3ont8za

The above two links are optimised for 1920x1080 - if you toggle the default crosshair on and off (as scout) you won't be able to notice it, as the custom tf2cross overlaps the stock crosshair completely. Its important to modify the 'tall' value in ClientScheme.res as well as the x/ypos in HudLayout.res if you want to get its positioning perfect.

Here is an image with outline on

Here is an image with outline off (had dx8 by accident sry)
http://users.on.net/~seeeker/tf2cross/guide_images/tf2cross_noborder.jpg

Let me know if you need any more help with it, I can probably give you perfect values to use that'll replicate the standard crosshair depending on your resolution.

I did all of this but I have an 'x' instead of a crosshair.

It's not related to this but whenever I try to change my crosshair, it does it but disappears the moment I switch weapon. In console it says

'userconfig.cfg' not present; not executing.
Host_WriteConfiguration: Wrote cfg/config.cfg

I think something that was left out is that at the bottom of clientscheme you need this maybe

"23"
{
"font" "resource/tf2cross.ttf"
"name" "tf2cross"
}

it may not be 23 for everyone just do whatever the next number is and I also think if you have another string of commands in hudlayout named "normalcrosshair" it wont work so you have to delete the old set.

also, you could probably make this crosshair with just copy pasting a dot crosshair, and changing the text from . to ( and ) and then editing the x and y pos

http://pastie.org/private/s3qyhdrilbnnwlgqwqfg//This goes in the Custom Fonts section of ClientScheme.res.
//This is at the bottom for must huds. In Broesel's hud, this starts at line 4403 onwards.
//Adjust "23" as necessary, the font definitions need to be sequentially numbered.

"23"
{
"font" "resource/tf2cross.ttf"
"name" "tf2cross"
}

The "name" of the font isn't necessarily the same as the file path. You have to go into the font's properties -> details, it's the title there that should be the "name" in clientscheme. Otherwise you get an X.
