Trivia

  • The Heavy's football helmet could be seen before it was officially announced in Meet the Spy. At 0:53, in the scene where the BLU Scout is spinning the Knife, the helmet can be seen on a filing cabinet in the background (image).
  • The icon for the Soviet Block achievement features a football helmet.
  • The modern hard plastic version of the football helmet was created by Paul Brown.
  • Despite its appearance, the helmet does not offer additional protection of any kind to the Heavy wearing it.
  • The one-bar facemask design has been illegal in the National Football League since 2004, with an exception for players who wore this style of facemask before the rule was enacted. Punter Scott Player is the last player to wear the one-bar facemask.
