It's the files in the old data folder that interferes with the client, not the name of the folders themselves.
As long as you make a nice new data folder, and then follow the proper folder tree found in a grf to the headgear sprite locations, then place the file in there, with a current headgears name, it'll display yours instead.
Lemme find the tree name.
K. There's a bunch of headgear files under data\sprite\?????? (actual item sprites, I thinkkkk?) and a bunch under the two branches in data\sprite\????? and of the two in there, one for female,s one for males.... I thinnnkk? At least it is for palettes.
