The "First Responder" hat seems to be broken.
The description of the hat states:
post a message in chat within ±12 hours of the UTC New Year’s begin that gets starred
However, many users, including me, already have the hat.

To be fair, the hat description
post a message in chat within ±12 hours of the UTC New Year’s begin that gets starred
does not mention which New Years…
… and so it was accidentally awarded for New Years 2016 :(
Fixed now, and the hats removed (while we tend to let users keep hats that were only awarded because of bugs, in this case it's too obvious).
