Update history

July 1, 2011 Patch

• The Summer Shades were added to the game

July 1, 2011 Patch 2

• Fixed the Summer Shades hiding the hat/headphones body group

Bugs

• When moved within the backpack, the Summer Shades play the same sound as the Saxton Hale Mask and Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask.
• Parts of the Medic's and Sniper's base glasses, Pyro's mask, and Engineer's goggles clip through these glasses.
• The Summer Shades have clipping issues with many hats, as well as some taunts. The clipping is most apparent with the Soldier's regular helmet, Demoman's Grenade Launcher taunt, and Sniper's melee weapon taunt.
• The Summer Shades don't display correctly on disguised enemy Spies.

Trivia

• The description refers to the 2008 news story about 16 year old Corey Worthington, a young Australian man from Melbourne who held a 500-guest alcohol-driven party at his parent's house while they were away. During the initial report, Corey calmly answered some of the questions, but in response to being asked by the reporter to take his sunglasses off, he refused repeatedly. When the reporter asked why, he responded, "Because. They're famous."
