Aperture Labs Hard Hat
From Team Fortress Wiki
| “ | ” |
The Aperture Labs Hard Hat, formerly known as the [ classified ], is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a white hard hat, sporting a potato-powered miner's light with a team-colored glow and is connected by two insulated orange wires. The side opposite to the potato sports two pieces of grey electrical tape covering an old Aperture Science logo, which can be uncovered via its style.
This hat was awarded to players who had bought the Potato Sack pack or owned all the games from the pack. It first became available with the April 5, 2011 Patch and could be obtained prior to the release of Portal 2.
It can be worn by Atlas and P-body in Portal 2's co-op mode.[1]

Trivia
- Prior to the Replay Update, the hat's description read "[ redacted ]". Redaction is the act of blanking out sensitive or classified information from a document in order to reduce its classification level for distribution to a wider audience. It is also a running joke within the Portal franchise.
- This hat is a reference to the "potato clock" or "potato battery", a popular science fair project where a potato is used to power a clock or other electronic appliance.[1]
