The Dr's Dapper Topper is a community-created headwear item for the Soldier. It is a tall, wide-brimmed top hat with alternating white and red stripes, much like the one the eponymous Template:W wears in the famous children's book by Template:W, the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel.

Trivia
File:Dapper Topper Uncle Sam Original.jpg
The original texture of Dr's Dapper Topper.
- The mesh used for the hat (named the "Uncle Sammy") was originally created by Polycount forum member oobersli,[1] but was slightly modified and re-skinned completely in the process, as the usage of both red and blue colors in one hat was found to be confusing for team identification.
- Many aspects of the hat are likely to be composed of references to Dr. Seuss: the weird, comedic style of the hat is likely a reference to the wacky, uncontrollable personality of the Soldier (not unlike that of Dr. Seuss' writing), and the hat's name suits Geisel's famous writing style, describing a person or entity in an anaphoric or sing-song manner.[2]
