Ellis' Cap is a promotional headwear item. The hat features a tow truck design on it, it is a reference to the hat worn by Ellis, a character from Valve's zombie shooter franchise, Template:W. In Left 4 Dead 2, Ellis' Cap is actually navy blue. This is the second Left 4 Dead related hat in Team Fortress 2 that is available for all classes, the first being Bill's Hat.
Obtaining
Beginning October 6, 2010, Ellis' Cap, along with the Frying Pan, was awarded to anyone who purchased Left 4 Dead 2 before Thursday, October 7, 2010, 4pm Template:W, as well as to anyone who had already purchased the game. If you purchased Left 4 Dead 2 from a retail store, you could still obtain the Ellis' Cap and Frying Pan as long as the game was linked to your Steam account. According to "Sacrifice: TF2 Items" on the Left 4 Dead Blog, anyone who owned Left 4 Dead 2 prior to the announcement would receive the item within a few days of the initial release. Ellis' Cap and the Frying Pan would show up in the player's inventory if they were eligible to obtain it. On October 21, 2010, the Ellis' Cap, along with the Frying Pan, were made tradeable.

Trivia
- Of the nine classes in Team Fortress 2, the Ellis' Cap seems to look very fitting on the Engineer, for he too is considered a mechanic and holds a Southern accent like Ellis does, and the Scout, who holds the youngest age in the game as well as simply pulling off the look well on his own.
- Ellis' Cap ironically was used as a special DLC promotion that revolves around Bill, and not Ellis himself. This somewhat goes hand in hand with the fact that Bill's Hat was awarded as a special gift for those who pre-ordered Left 4 Dead 2, yet the promotion had nothing to do with Bill.
