The Demoman

The Demoman's Fro is an unlockable headwear item for the Demoman. It appears as an afro hairstyle with a team-colored headband. The Demoman's Fro, with its small size and headband, is intended to resemble the afro worn by rock legend Jimi Hendrix, rather than the more iconic and oversized "disco" fro.

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.
