Trivia
- The symbol on the cap resembles the Japanese character う (as in うに, or "sea urchin") written backwards.
- The default color scheme of the Urchins Cap (shown in the equipment icon) is similar to an alternate cap worn by the Seattle Mariners, a baseball team formerly owned by Nintendo of America. Their name also connects to the aquatic themes of Splatoon.
- The Urchins Cap was originally called "Baseball Cap", was primarily navy blue instead of black, and had Damage Up as its primary ability.
