Trivia
- The White Headband shares its gear brand, ability, star count, and even part of its name with the White LS in Splatoon.
- The White Headband originally lacked the gray stripe through the middle. This can be seen in some promotional material from before the release of Splatoon.
- Based on its SplatNet 2 price, it can be deduced that the normal price of the White Headband would be 300 if it were purchasable from Headspace rather than being a part of the starting gear.
- As of version 2.0.0 of Splatoon 2, the White Headband and the rest of the starting gear are the only pieces of gear that cannot have their original abilities restored if purchased through SplatNet 2, unless if ordered from another player through Murch.
