Trivia
- The Demoman's Fro is not a hat per se, but rather the removal of the gray skullcap hat the Demoman normally wears. Due to the addition of the headband and other technical details, the Fro is not categorized as a hatless item.
- Incidentally, the gray skullcap is still underneath his Fro, (as with every other Demoman hat). Before patching, his hair used to fall off upon death.
- The afro hairstyle was a trend in the 60's and 70's, popularized by disco culture and featuring in many blaxploitation films.
- The Demoman's hair worn in this fashion makes him appear similar to Samuel L. Jackson's character Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction, though with a headband. There are many fan based videos featuring the Demoman as Jules, so this may be a nod to those.
- With the afro the Demoman also bears a striking similarity to Jimi Hendrix, when he played at Woodstock in 1969, one of the most famous concerts in the history of all time.
- Using any paint cans with this hat will actually change the color of the Demoman's hair rather than the headband. This can lead to several bizarre hairstyles.
- The Demoman's Fro is one of the few random drop hats that still lacks a description.
- This hat's name is technically grammatically incorrect, since 'fro is an abbreviation and should use an apostrophe.
