Wall of Shame

• Handyman's Handle - "The Pyro has never actually used the Handyman's Handle for it's actual purpose."

No kidding. It's a plunger.

• Tyrant's Helm - "It is said that the Tyrants Helm, the Chieftain's Challenge, and the Killer's Kabuto were stolen from a museum by the soldier. it is also said that the soldier broke the left horn of the tyrants helm while making his escape." [1]

And the Tricorne was stolen from a captain sailing the seven seas. Come on, now.

• Football Helmet - "Along with the batter's helmet and bonk helmet. This is the only hat sports related." [2]

The Frenchman's Beret is the only French hat. Oh! And the Magistrate's Mullet is the only reference to a court room. Perhaps the Spy is interested in law? Hmm? Nope.

• Pain Train - "The Pain Train appears to be constructed from a Pyro's discarded Axtinguisher handle. Ironically, however, an Axtinguisher is not required to craft a Pain Train."
• Heavy - "The fact that the Heavy wears hats like the Hound Dog and the Football Helmet seems to imply he's interested in American culture." [3]

No, it implies Valve liked the hats and put them in the game.

• Sergeant's Drill Hat - "While it isn't apparent at first this hat does allow the soldiers elusive eyes to be seen while taunting." [4]
• Old Guadalajara - "One of the theories about the Pyro's nationality is that he/she is Mexican. This hat may be a reference to those theories." [5]
• Holy Mackerel - "Yet another reference is that according to studies about evolution, all life on Earth started in the oceans and by evolving slowly went on land." [6]
• Pyro's Beanie - "The beanie supports the story of the pyros attempt at flight from the steam forums were people often said how the pyro's flamethrower could be used as a jetpack." [7]
• Old Guadalajara - "There was a large gasoline explosion in the city of Guadalajara, supposedly supporting the Pyros destructive nature." [8]
• Handyman's Handle - "This might infer that the pyro was a janitor also while working at a gas station." [9]
• Tough Guy's Toque - "These knitted hats are also typical worn by the Inca people, they are officially called: 'Chullo'. And are originally made of sheep- and alpaca wool." [10]
• Sober Stuntman - "The fact that the helmet is similar to those worn by stunt man Evel Knievel may be a reference to the South Park episode "Pinkeye", In which the character Chef wears an Evel Knievel costume." [11]
• Iron Curtain - "The Iron Curtain features a vent on its side from which smoke and light of a flame are visible. This may be a reference to the emphasis on industrialization in Soviet Russia." [12]

IT IS A GUN IT RUNS HOT CHRIST SAKES.
