The Demoman on his misplaced potatoes.

The [ classified ], better known as the Potato Hat, is a promotional headwear item for all classes. It is a white hard hat with a potato-powered miner's light with a team colored glow, connected by two orange wires with team colored connector insulation. The far side of the hat sports grey electrical tape covering an unknown team colored circular logo.

This hat was awarded from April 5, 2011 to players who had bought the Potato Sack pack, or had owned all the games from the pack, on Steam. It appears to still be available, and it is unknown when it will stop being awarded.

(Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby), AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, AudioSurf, BIT.TRIP BEAT, Cogs, Defense Grid: The Awakening, Killing Floor, RUSH, Super Meat Boy, The Ball, The Wonderful End of the World, and Toki Tori.
