Trivia
- Bill's Hat has its own intricate back-story, which reads as follows: "While conducting a science experiment on parallel dimensions, Bill's Hat fell off a table into the Team Fortress universe."
- Although Bill wears a green beret, the hat is either brown or gray depending on the wearer's team.
- The magazine cover Hat-Wearing Man seen on the Sniper vs Spy Update published an article titled "Wearing Berets: Not on our Watch! How You Can Help...". It seems the teams didn't take their suggestions to heart.
- This hat was the second item to be released which could only be acquired within a specific time, including the Cheater's Lament, the Sam and Max items, the Gentle Manne's Service Medal, the 119th Update medals, the Earbuds, and the Lumbricus Lid.
- Bill's Hat is one of the few "limited edition" hats eligible for Trading. It shares this characteristic with the Lumbricus Lid and Max's Severed Head.
- The Hat's description ("Left 4 You.", written by Calvary) may be a reference to the fact that Bill sacrifices his life to save the other survivors in the DLC for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, "The Sacrifice".
- Using the Zepheniah's Greed Paint Can changes the color to a more faithful representation of Bill's Hat, as it is dark green in the "Left 4 Dead" series.
- There is a clipping bug with Bill's Hat when equipped on the Sniper. When the Ghost scare effect is applied, you can see the Snipers head.
