Trivia
- The hat resembles a pirate hat and is reference to the fact that the Demoman only has one eye, the other socket is covered with an eyepatch which is a icon for pirates across the world.
- many sailors who often went above and below deck used an eye patch to keep one eye adjusted to the darkness below decks. The strong sunlight while above deck on an oceangoing vessel could require minutes of adaptation to the dim lighting below deck. With virtually no light sources below deck, sailors would have to rely heavily upon their eyes to adjust. In the critical moments of modifying the rigging, navigating, and especially during battle, those minutes were too precious. A simple switch of the patch from one eye to the other might have saved time when going between decks. However, this usage of the eyepatch is not supported by any historical records.
