Trivia

  • A bucket hat lives up to its name by being commonly used by fishermen to hold various pieces of fishing equipment such as hooks, sinkers, floats, and lures.
  • Wearing this hat makes the Sniper bear a striking resemblance to the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson who, along with his trademark orange aviator sunglasses, wore many different colored fisherman's hats throughout his life.
    • It may also be a reference to Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake from the hit TV series M*A*S*H, who was known for wearing his trademark fisherman's hat (along with a similar vest to the Sniper's).
  • The Bloke's bucket hat is the only Sniper hat to have team color variants.
