{{c|info}} [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80 The TF2 forum exists], use it to discuss the item. -[[User:RJackson|<span style="background-color:#FF0000;color:white;font-size:0.7em;padding: 0 2px;">RJ</span>]]{{mod}} 00:29, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

== Hat somewhat related to M. Bison (Dictator)? ==
 
I can see the resemblance to M. Bison, YES YES.  [[User:Jozh goober] October 9, 2010
 
 
I can't help but feel that the hat is somewhat related to a famous Street Fighter character. [[User:Nanosheep|(nanosheep_inc)]] 06:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
That hat is just like Bison's. I would put that on the trivia section. [[User:Mike Red|Mike Red]] 18:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:It's a police cap. The M Bison similarity is a coincidence. {{n}}[[User:Smashman|<span class="bur">Smashman</span>]]<sub>&nbsp;([[User_talk:Smashman|talk]])</sub> {{bur}} 21:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

/wiki hat/
 
 
It looks like a Dutch train-attendant's hat; with the railroad pin switched with a TF2 logo. [[User:FoOz|FoOz]] 07:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
Personally, I'd say it resembles a common military officer's hat. --[[User:RedShocktrooper|RedShocktrooper]] 18:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
It may be unintentional, but galdarn it I want it because it looks like Bison's hat. If I get it I'm namin' it Shadaloo Chapeau or some other ridiculous thing. --[[User:CommodoreJim|CommodoreJim]] 04:51, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
It appears to me to be a Peaked cap. They are used throughout many military forces. They orginated from Russia in the early 1700's. [[User:Jeff Andonuts|Jeff Andonuts]] 08:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
: ^ This. It reminds me of World War One German Enlisted caps, but with a visor: http://northerngoodies.com/store/item/ns_0276.html [[User:Goose511th|Goose511th]] 19:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
== Description suggestions ==

"In recognition of your personnal lack of social life for the community knowledge".  Well, not as fun as a GladOS reference or original as the WAR! for edit quote, but still, it's the use of this hat. [[User:Tturbo|Tturbo]] 18:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
