‘Head Honcho’ is American lingo for a person in charge, and while they probably got it from the Japanese, it still makes sense for it to be used on an American character.
not sure if anyones mentioned this, but both the Condor Cap and Screamin' Eagle referencing the 101st Airborne is important because they were one of the paratropper divisions involved in Operation Market Garden.
The head Honcho's headcap being called "Honcho" is most likely because General MacArthur actually "ruled" over japan after WWII, or maybe because of some Large Guy or whatever they told me in history class
The doe-boy's name is also in reference to American soldiers during World War 1 who were called doughboys and wore the British brodie helmet which is what the helmet in bioshock was modeled after.
The refeence to Pirattes of Carrabean (conquistador) is named after unnamed pirate from Singapore who was on the ship. Author of this hat was probably big history buff like me because I saw this hat too and I remembered it untill now.
Thanks for including my comment at 1:42! It means a lot to me. As I stated in that comment, the traffic cone hat for pyro is also a Plants vs Zombies reference. Also, the brigade helm could be a reference to Ray Bradbury's book Fahrenheit 451, where Firemen, instead of putting out fires, burn books along with the houses that store them.
The Armored Authority could also be a reference to General Patton and his appearence on the homonymous movie about him, where Patton is seen with the 3 star helmet
Slight correction: Simon Belmont is not the main character in the Castlevania series, just the most well known protagonist -- since all the games have different main characters and what-not.
Now that, was one hell of a campaign son. For this video was as always very well written and gave me a lot of information into something’s that I didn’t know about solider. Props 👏 As for pyro idk if anyone has already said this but. The Necronomicrown is a hat based of the series Ash Vs the evil dead particularly in the third film where evil dead ash dawns the hat on the assault in the castle scene.
this series is nice and unique, good shit man, remember make these at ur own pace and stop when u dont enjoy to preserve the little sanity a tf2 player has left.
PLEASE just spend 5 more minutes on research. Like you missed out on so much... love the vuds but here is some extra context Honcho headcap: the japanese word in the name is a reference of MacArthur's role in the pacific theater and post war japan Armored authority: is an obvious reference to general Patton. The name is a nod to his fondness to armored warfare Doe boy: the name and design is a reference to american soldiers during ww1 Valley forge: i think the design is mainly based off of washington's hat Gilded guard: could be a reference to old prussian helmets as well but i accept that you are probably right Fun fact: The cross-comm crash helmet can be crafted
You forgot to mention the Firearm Protector, it's a reference to a chinese tf2 ripoff called Final Combat, where the equivalent of the soldier wore a yellow fire suit
For the Pyro video, the "Dead Cone" cosmetic is a promotional item that references Plants VS Zombies. It mimics the look of the Conehead Zombies from that game.
4:31 i think the creators of the helmet had Patton, specifically the helmet George C Scott wore in the opening speech of the Patton movie, which although only having 4 stars, texture is very similar
The Doe Boy is a reference to US WWI Helmets, on top of the Bioshock reference. In 1917, when the US joined, the US Armed Forces expanded rapidly, and long story short, we ended up using the British WWI helmet as a stop-gap measure initially, and then full-time later on.
Also, with the Cloud Crasher, the Ace of Spades wasn't only a sign of good luck. The 101st Airborne, which the 506th PIR was a part of, used insignia on it's helmets to help identify regiment, battalion, and job. In this case the helmet signifies the wearer is part of the 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, identified by the little vertical line underneath the Ace of Spades. Which itself could be a reference to the TV Miniseries Band of Brothers which was about Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne. The Armored Authority is undoubtedly a reference to Lt. General George S. Patton, a corps-level commander that specialized in Armored Warfare in WWII. He is commonly represented as having worn that black helmet. Another interesting thing about him is the belief that German generals saw him as the best American (or Allied, depending on who you ask) Corps-level commander. Even though the archives suggest if you asked any German general who he was, you would more than likely get a response of "Who?". As for the Defiant Spartan. You state that the Romans wore the Corinthian Style helmet. This is partly true, but by the time of the Early Republic, it had fallen out of favor alongside the Roman abandonment of Phalanx warfare. Corinth, in ancient Greece at least, was anything but a "small city". Being the home of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and lust, has its perks. I suspect that the Honcho's Headcap isn't just a reference to Douglas MacArthur, since the shape of the cap is highly reminiscent of Japanese Army officer headware, hence the "Honcho" part of the name. Also, for the Stahlhelm, lit. steel helmet, it is technically a WWI model, rather than the WWII model that would have been accurate to the battle of Stalingrad. This is evidenced by the big studs near to the where the temple would be on your forhead, as that is where extra armor would be attached by troops maning static emplacements in the trenches. That feature was removed by the time of WWII, to cut down on costs.
Minor thing about the Doe-boy. The hat itself is similar to a WW1 helmet worn by both British and American soldiers. American soldiers in WW1 were nicknamed “Doughboys”.
The Cloud Crasher would also be a reference to the series Band of Brothers, as the main cast are all from the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. Several of the main and supporting characters in the show are Lieutenants at some point throughout the show, including the main character Richard Winters.
While the Grenadier's Softcap isn't a ww2 German field cap (it's just a generic American army cap), the medic actually has his own genuine ww2 German fieldcap called the "Medic's Mountain Cap". He also has the "Combat Medic's Crusher Cap" which is a ww2 German Officer's Crusher Cap which were just soft versions of the rigid officer's hat you often see on TV Really good video overall, can't wait for the other classes :))))
7:58 reminds me of the old ass "Fishy Stick" meme that went around the official Elder Scrolls forums back then which is a edited picture of Captain Morgan holding a huge ass Fish Stick with the caption "Here, have a Fishy Stick" that was sent to new members of the Forum I wasn't apart of the community back then because I was probably a toddler, but I am a huge ass Elder Scrolls fan now
5:45 My good sir, the unnamed character you speak is a Chinamen seen in Worlds End. Onboard the Chinese Junk and in various scenes, the Morion wearing Chinaman has that hat and its likely the reference the creator talked about.
The Cadaver's Capper is likely another fighting game reference. This character has a different name in japan but they go by "Hsien Ko". A character who wears a very similar hat with a talisman. She is also laterally the monster the hat references.
for pyro (if you are doing them next): Wondering Wraith (yes it is a hat, it covers the "top of the head" region, so you cannot wear it with other hats), anyway, the Wondering Wraith is a reference to an enemy from a game series called "Doom", the enemy who's design was taken as an inspiration for the cosmetic are the "Lost souls". If you check the workshop page for the item, you can see on the banner image that Wondering Wraith looks like a lost soul, being separated from pyro's body in the background. As well as the item description being a reference to how they were described in the Doom Manual. I have interviewed the creator, and they have confirmed that yes, It is a reference to the Lost Souls. Anyway... Amazing video, I love your content 🤗
The armoured authority is actually designed after General George S. Patton's helmet. Also you should take the time on jump maps to learn rocket jumping, you are frequently overshooting your jumps and you aren't airstrafing.
10:01 You meantioned how the name was a reference on a reference, so just to have it written out, the Holy Handgranade of the "Lumbricous Lid" is a Monthy Python reference.
Y'know most people would've probably dropped the "promotional item" bit after the first few times because it's obnoxious and not funny but i have to respect you for sticking to your guns even if it makes this video way more painful to watch than it reasonably should be. Great video otherwise.
ONG IM IN THE VIDEO TY Edit: I am really excited how you inspire information to people that easy. I think it’s tough to making this videos, so Good Luck 🤞🏻.
I always thought the Battle Bob (5:11) was a reference to the Ramones. Even the name "Battle Bob" seems similar to the song title "Blitzkrieg Bop". I never played Jagged Alliance so I have no idea what it is a reference to.
Tbf, you shot yourself in the foot with the dumb, sarcastic "I couldn't possibly know this" bit with the Xenomorph bit soooo...hey, ya know the saying "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" *shrugs*
I'm waiting for a scout or spy lupin the third outfit. Maybe this summer? Also, the team captain is actually a reference to a music video called "Dream a Dream (the famous song the video of medic Uber flipping the red team comes from)
11:11 The name "Condor Cap" may also be a reference to the german unit send to nationalist Spain in the Civil war as "Condor Legion". Who most famously conducted bombing runs on Republican forces and the infamous bombing of Guernica.
I'm sure someone's mentioned this before, but the Armored Authority (and the Fancy Dress Uniform as well since they're in the same set) are a reference to general George S. Patton.
would the Packable Provisions for Engineer count as a reference? the backpack is a reference to Uncle Dane's weapon idea for Engineer where the engineer would replace the pistol for a backpack that could heal and give metal over time, like a dispenser on the engie's back. it wasn't added as a weapon, but became a cosmetic instead.
Here are a few pyro cosmetics that reference stuff that I can think of off the top of my head (tho i could be wrong about some of these): The spectralnaught : space kook from scooby doo Face of mercy : Jason vorhees from Friday the 13th Neptune's nightmare : the ghost of captain cutler from scooby doo Creature's grin : the thing from the thing Airtight arsonists : pyro from team fortress classic Fire tooth : sweet tooth from twisted metal Miami rooster : hotline miami
It's not going to be relevant for a few episodes but the hat Cabinet Mann for engineer is a reference to the song 'Cabinet Man' by Lemon Demon, on the item's workshop page there is even some of the lyrics to the song.
Fun M. Bison fact! In Japan, the name "M. Bison" is given to the character we call Balrog, as he's based on the infamous American boxer, Mike Tyson. This was swapped in localization for being a bit too obvious, creating endless problems for the international Street Fighter community.

Well, considering that all of the Soldier's medals he made for himself, it's also likely that he put many feathers for the Chieftain's Challenge hat.
