A detailed explanation of particle effects in general can be found on Template:W. Documentation for the Source engine's implementation can be found here.

Unusual effects

Unusual particle effects are particles attached to Unusual quality items.

There are 1288 possible combinations between hats and Unusual item particle effects (14 effects × 92 [current] possible unusual hats). The different particle effects are viewable in this animation, and here as they appear in-game; as well as in this video.

Currently, 25 out of 98 different hats cannot possess any of the 14 possible Unusual effects. These hats include:

Dealer's Visor Cheater's Lament Ghastly Gibus Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask Foster's Facade
Bill's Hat Max's Severed Head Alien Swarm Parasite Mann Co. Cap Treasure Hat
Ellis' Cap Wiki Cap Ghastlier Gibus Horseless Headless Horsemann's Head
