Trivia
- The description of this hat is a reference to one of the Heavy's responses.
- In terms of military and police work, the color of an ushanka usually indicates a person's position. Grey is associated with military personnel, green for camouflage use, white for parade use, and blue for a police officer. Because the Heavy's ushanka is black, it is debatable whether or not it is a true Officer's Ushanka.
- Fur hats like the ushanka had been used in Russia, Germany, and other parts of Asia for hundreds of years. However, the ushanka did not become popular until the 20th century.
- Though ushankas are a distinctly Russian hat (indeed, the stereotypical Russian is seen to wear one) the wearing of fur caps of similar design was relatively common throughout China, North Korea, Eastern Europe. The ushanka became a symbol and media icon of Soviet Russia. The ushanka hat has now made its way to the United States and the rest of the world and is a very popular hat.
