The Football helmet is a headwear item for the Heavy and was released with Sniper vs Spy Update as the first hat available for the Heavy. It appears as a plastic, team-colored football helmet with a yellow stripe down the center and a one-bar facemask.
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.
- This hat and the Hound Dog could mean that the heavy is intrested in American cultures
- It may also be a reference to George Hanson who was traveling with two chopper riders Billy and Wyatt in "Easy Rider" movie wearing a football helmet.
Punter Scott Player is the last player to wear the one-bar face mask/helmet
