Bill's Hat is a headwear item available to all classes. It is the same hat Bill wore in Left 4 Dead. It appears as a slightly worn brown colored veteran's beret for RED or gray colored beret for BLU, both with a yellow shield insignia. It was awarded to players who pre-ordered the Valve title Template:W on Steam or for PC through Template:W. This hat can still be obtained by players through Trading.

The hat description was written by Calvary.

Trivia

  • Bill's Hat has its own intricate back-story, which reads as follows: "While conducting a science experiment on parallel dimensions, Bill's Hat fell off a table into the Team Fortress universe."[1]
  • Although Bill's Hat has a design on the shield in Template:W, the shield on the hat is blank.
  • A small number of Bill's Hats became "Vintage" after the "Scream Fortress" on October 27th, 2010. [2]
  • If you look slightly to the left side of the hat, there is what appears to be the original color of the hat, most likely hinting that it was painted.
