Trivia

  • A Template:W (鉢巻, lit. "helmet-scarf") is a stylized headband in Japanese culture, usually made of red or white cloth. It was worn as a symbol of perseverance or effort by the wearer. Japanese kamikaze pilots in Template:W would often wear hachimakis before flying to their deaths.
  • The design features the red star of Communism from the Template:W, the main antagonist in Homefront.
  • It was nearly impossible for individuals in the United Kingdom to obtain this hat in Genuine quality, as Homefront was not available for preorder in the United Kingdom during the promotional period. The only method for United Kingdom citizens to have obtained this hat in Genuine quality was having had the game gifted to them by someone outside of the United Kingdom.
