Hat Retirement

Valve is retiring some TF2 hats/miscs.  As of January 24th these items won't drop anymore, nor can you craft them.  They cannot be unboxed as unusuals, however, they can be unboxed in legacy crates as unique quality still.  Nothing earth-shattering but it will be interesting to see what values change for these items.

• Batter’s Helmet
• Soldier’s Stash
• Pyro’s Beanie
• Demoman’s Fro
• Football Helmet
• Mining Light
• Prussian Pickelhaube
• Trophy Belt
• Fancy Fedora

Make sure you vote in our new poll on which one of these you'll miss the most.
