The Chieftain's Challenge is a community-created headwear item for the Soldier. It is a stereotypical Native American Template:W with team-colored Team Fortress 2 logos painted onto the wooden side buttons covering the Soldier's ears. It features broad white feathers with team-colored tips and bases, and a decorated band covering the Soldier's eyes.

Trivia

• In some Template:W tribes, feathers were badges that were earned through deeds, whether it be for the good of the community or through battle. Those who had earned enough to make a full headdress were regarded with great honor.
• The hat's name in development was Screams with Eagles, a reference to one of the Soldier's taunt sound clips.
