Trivia
- In Japanese, there is a phrase that describes the act of putting on a similar headband, and is used as an expression to describe getting down to work. A Western world equivalent to that expression would be 'rolling up one's sleeves'.
- The hat is an homage to people who have trained in martial arts. Originally, the belts were given to the pupil as white belts and over time, dirt, sweat and other bodily fluids were used to turn the belt from white to black. However, since Jarate is the Sniper's shtick, the belt stays yellow.
- Much similar to the hat-less item Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative, the Ghastly Gibus, or Max's Severed Head; if a Sniper taunts with the Kukri, Bushwacka or Tribalman's Shiv equipped while wearing the Master's Yellow Belt, he will hold onto thin air in place of his no longer equipped hat.
- Being able to be painted, it can itself contradict its own name when changing it from a "Yellow" belt to any of the paint colors provided. Because it's paintable, it can also be returned to its original white color, or dyed a more vibrant color of yellow.
- If the player decides to paint the "Master's Yellow Belt" with the paint "A Distinctive Lack of Hue" the player's "Master's Yellow Belt" would look very similar to a stereotypical ninja's black headband.
- The hat description was written by Magi Kavin.
- If painted with "Zephaniahs Greed" it resembles the bandana worn by Naked Snake in the video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
